Exploit:W32/CVE-2013-3906 identifies files that attempt to exploit the CVE-2013-2906 vulnerability in a Microsoft Graphics component.
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either block the installation of files attempting to exploit the CVE-2013-2906 vulnerability or remove them entirely.
To mitigate the impact of this vulnerability, users are also advised to implement workarounds such as disabling the TIFF codec. For more information, see 0-Day Fix: Microsoft Graphics Component vulnerability could allow remote code execution.
A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:
Check for the latest database updates
First check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.
Submit a sample
After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.
Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.
Exclude a file from further scanning
If you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.
Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
Successful exploitation of the CVE-2013-2906 vulnerability may result in an attacker being able to run malicious code on the affected machine.
