Our local virus scan tool provided by ***** reported a "trojan horse" called "BKDR_HACDEF.M" found in c:\cygwin\bin\cygcrypt-0.dllDetected on 2 systems here by Trend Micro and it deleted the file. According to a website describing the virus, it can use a possible vulnerability in the file to implement the backdoor. Are there any know vulnerabilities in cygcrypt-0.dll?

Could you tell me what is your point of view about this ? is it a fluke information ? does the code for cygcrypt-0.dll need to be checked against Easter-Eggs of this kind ?
