Official Description
Kaspersky Anti-Hacker 1.8.180, when Stealth Mode is enabled, allows remote attackers to obtain responses to ICMP (1) timestamp and (2) netmask requests, which is inconsistent with the documented behavior of Stealth Mode.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2006-4265 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
