    Heh, "vulnerability"... right. :rolleyes:

    It's simply a matter of not supporting archive formats, either via documented implementation or through emulation/heuristic unpacking, nothing more.
    A lot of AVs still don't support even the basic compression methods, like 7zip or zipx, so this is nothing new or something to be concerned about. The file will be detected upon extraction.

    It does bypass things such as download scanners. It gets the malware onto the system, which is step one.

    Not a big deal though.
