CVE-2017-15643
An active network attacker (MiTM) can achieve remote code execution on a machine that runs IKARUS Anti Virus 2.16.7. IKARUS AV for Windows uses cleartext HTTP for updates along with a CRC32 checksum and an update value for verification of the downloaded files. The attacker first forces the client to initiate an update transaction by modifying an update field within an HTTP 200 response, so that it refers to a nonexistent update. The attacker then modifies the HTTP 404 response so that it specifies a successfully found update, with a Trojan horse executable file (e.g., guardxup.exe) and the correct CRC32 checksum for that file.

IKARUS AV para Windows utiliza HTTP en texto no cifrado para actualizaciones, junto con una suma de comprobación CRC32 y un valor de actualización para la verificación de los archivos descargados. Primero, el atacante fuerza al cliente a iniciar una operación de actualización modificando un campo de actualización en una respuesta HTTP 200, de forma que haga referencia a una actualización inexistente. Entonces, el atacante modifica la respuesta HTTP 400 para que especifique que se ha encontrado una actualización con éxito, con un archivo ejecutable troyano (ej.: guardxup.exe) y la suma de comprobación CRC32 correcta para este archivo."
