CVE-2014-9632
CWE-264Published: February 6, 2015· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
7.2
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The TDI driver (avgtdix.sys) in AVG Internet Security before 2013.3495 Hot Fix 18 and 2015.x before 2015.5315 and Protection before 2015.5315 allows local users to write to arbitrary memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a crafted 0x830020f8 IOCTL call.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2014-9632 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2014-9632. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
