In addition, it uses a new engine version: 4.4.4. The changes since 4.4.3 are as follows:
- Significant improvements to the "Eldorado" heuristic engine, including
changes to support heuristic detection of 64-bit malware.
- Better handling of malware using encryption methods like DES.
- Added scanning of self-extracting CAB files (WEXTRACT files).
- Better detection of obsolete DOS .COM files that have been renamed not
to have an executable extension. This change serves no useful purpose
other than to prevent F-PROT from getting an undeserved low score in
certain tests that still award points for detection of renamed DOS
files that cannot be considered a realistic threat today.
- Fixed a vulnerability reported by Sergio Alvarez (sergio.alvarez@nruns.com)
where a corrupted (or specifically crafted) .CHM could cause an
out-of-bounds memory access.
- Fixed a bug where a corrupted UPX-compressed file could crash the engine.
