Subject: FW: [Full-Disclosure] JPEG AV Detection

 What exactly are the AV products detecting in the JPEG exploits? Barry
and I was talking about how impressed we were that the AV companies
jumped on this one and detection was pretty fast. But is the detection
so generic that a variant will bypass? Is the detection based on a
original exploit that could be modified in a way that makes it
"undetectable" right now?

If they are any decent then they'll check for incorrect values in comment
size fields. It's very easy to detect it since value has to be 0 or 1 in
order to exploit the vulnerability.
A little problem is that comment size field can be in any section of the
JPEG, not just at the beginning (as in the original exploit), but I supposed
that AV vendors caught this.

Cheers,

Bojan
