News Document Title: ==================== Memory Corruption in Kaspersky IS&AV 2011/2012 released Release Date: ============= 2011-12-20 Laboratory Article: =================== The vulnerability researcher Benjamin Kunz Mejri discovered yesterday a new zero-day memory corruption vulnerability in "Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011/2012 & Internet Security 2011/2012". The security vulnerability is local exploitable while loading a manipulated .CFG (Configuration/Setting) File. The vulnerability is caused by an invalid pointer corruption through the kaspersky exception/protection filters, which could be exploited by attackers to crash the complete software process on all instances (Browser+Addon, Sidebar & Software). Benjamin K.M. used a new concept to identify the memory corruption issue and has bypassed the protection filter exception (import) of the software.
