Kaspersky Products Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Multiple Kaspersky products are prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because the applications fail to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. A local attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successfully exploiting this issue will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
Mitigation:
Users should ensure that all Kaspersky products are kept up-to-date with the latest security patches.
