KAV vulnerability

Jazzie_01 over 20 years ago

HI all!

Seen an interesting read about a vulnerability in KAV products!

http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Flaw_found_in_Kaspersky_antivirus/0,2000061733,39215552,00.htm

Since Astaro uses the KAV sig database, it might apply to Astaro!!!

Regards
Jazzie

I'd seen that also.

According to the notice from Kaspersky, the problem only affects Windows. Also, they've added signatures to detect possible exploitation of the problem, so if the AV Up2Date is current, there should be no problem. They also say they have a fix for the affected Windows products scheduled for the 5th.
