Subject: Mcafee e'prise false positive on (x86) texlive-collection-fontsrecommended?
X-IsSubscribed: yes

Hi,

My companies locked down desktop environment forces a weekly virus scan.
Yesterday's (Mon 27/07) scan deleted (without recourse unfortunately)
files from the texlive-collection-fontsrecommended, claiming they were
infected(??) with CVE-2015-2426
(http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-2426).

Here's the list of files that were deleted:

$ cygcheck -vc texlive-collection-fontsrecommended

from package texlive-collection-fontsrecommended
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended 20140523-2     Incomplete


And the description of the vulnerability:

Buffer underflow in atmfd.dll in the Windows Adobe Type Manager Library 
in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, 
Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, 
and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary 
code via a crafted OpenType font, aka "OpenType Font Driver Vulnerability."

Is this a false positive on the part of the Virus Scanner? Or, as the
package is dated from before the vulnerability report, does the package
need an update?

Thanks in advance,
Shaddy
