KasperskyCVEs & Vulnerabilities

Kaspersky has fixed a security issue in the Kaspersky Security 8.0 for Linux Mail Server. The issue was that an attacker could potentially force an administrator to click on a malicious link to perform unauthorized actions.

Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection for Windows version up to 21.5 was vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion via abuse of its 'Delete All Service Data And Reports' feature by the local authenticated attacker.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus products for home and Kaspersky Endpoint Security with antivirus databases released before 12 March 2022 had a bug in a data parsing module that potentially allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The fix was delivered automatically. Credits: Georgy Zaytsev (Positive Technologies).

A denial-of-service issue existed in one of modules that was incorporated in Kaspersky Anti-Virus products for home and Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

A component in Kaspersky Password Manager could allow an attacker to elevate a process Integrity level from Medium to High.

Possible system denial of service in case of arbitrary changing Firefox browser parameters. An attacker could change specific Firefox browser parameters file in a certain way and then reboot the system to make the system unbootable.

Password generator feature in Kaspersky Password Manager was not completely cryptographically strong and potentially allowed an attacker to predict generated passwords in some cases. An attacker would need to know some additional information (for example, time of password generation).

KIS for macOS in some use cases was vulnerable to AV bypass that potentially allowed an attacker to disable anti-virus protection.

A component of Kaspersky custom boot loader allowed loading of untrusted UEFI modules due to insufficient check of their authenticity. This component is incorporated in Kaspersky Rescue Disk (KRD) and was trusted by the Authentication Agent of Full Disk Encryption in Kaspersky Endpoint Security (KES). This issue allowed to bypass the UEFI Secure Boot security feature. An attacker would need physical access to the computer to exploit it. Otherwise, local administrator privileges would be required to modify the boot loader component.

TinyCheck before commits 9fd360d and ea53de8 allowed an authenticated attacker to send an HTTP GET request to the crafted URLs.

TinyCheck before commits 9fd360d and ea53de8 was vulnerable to command injection due to insufficient checks of input parameters in several places.

In Kaspersky Internet Security for Android 11.12.4.1622, some of the application trace files were not encrypted.

In Kaspersky Internet Security for Android 11.12.4.1622, some of application exports activities have weak permissions, which might be used by a malware application to get unauthorized access to the product functionality by using Android IPC.

In Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server before Maintenance Pack 2 Critical Fix 4 (version 8.0.4.312), the scriptName parameter of the licenseKeyInfo action method is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS).

The reportId parameter of the getReportStatus action method can be abused in the web interface in Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server before Maintenance Pack 2 Critical Fix 4 (version 8.0.4.312) to read arbitrary files with kluser privileges.

The kluser is able to interact with the kav4fs-control binary in Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server before Maintenance Pack 2 Critical Fix 4 (version 8.0.4.312). By abusing the quarantine read and write operations, it is possible to elevate the privileges to root.

There are no Anti-CSRF tokens in any forms on the web interface in Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server before Maintenance Pack 2 Critical Fix 4 (version 8.0.4.312). This would allow an attacker to submit authenticated requests when an authenticated user browses an attacker-controlled domain.

A local denial of service vulnerability exists in window broadcast message handling functionality of Kaspersky Anti-Virus software. Sending certain unhandled window messages, an attacker can cause application termination and in the same way bypass KAV self-protection mechanism.

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the IOCTL handling functionality of Kaspersky Internet Security KL1 driver. A specially crafted IOCTL signal can cause an access violation in KL1 kernel driver resulting in local system denial of service. An attacker can run a program from user-mode to trigger this vulnerability.

Multiple information leaks exist in various IOCTL handlers of the Kaspersky Internet Security KLDISK driver. Specially crafted IOCTL requests can cause the driver to return out-of-bounds kernel memory, potentially leaking sensitive information such as privileged tokens or kernel memory addresses that may be useful in bypassing kernel mitigations. An unprivileged user can run a program from user-mode to trigger this vulnerability.

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the syscall filtering functionality of Kaspersky Internet Security KLIF driver. A specially crafted native api call can cause a access violation in KLIF kernel driver resulting in local denial of service. An attacker can run program from user-mode to trigger this vulnerability.

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the syscall filtering functionality of the Kaspersky Internet Security KLIF driver. A specially crafted native api call request can cause a access violation exception in KLIF kernel driver resulting in local denial of service. An attacker can run program from user-mode to trigger this vulnerability.

Kaspersky Total Security 2015 15.0.2.361 allocates memory with Read, Write, Execute (RWX) permissions at predictable addresses when protecting user-mode processes, which allows attackers to bypass the DEP and ASLR protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.

The Kaspersky Internet Security (aka com.kms.free) application 11.4.4.232 for Android does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.

Race condition in Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 9.0.0.736 on Windows XP allows local users to bypass kernel-mode hook handlers, and execute dangerous code that would otherwise be blocked by a handler but not blocked by signature-based malware detection, via certain user-space memory changes during hook-handler execution, aka an argument-switch attack or a KHOBE attack. NOTE: this issue is disputed by some third parties because it is a flaw in a protection mechanism for situations where a crafted program has already begun to execute
