Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

Kaspersky AntiVirus Engine 6.0.1.411 for Windows and 5.5-10 for Linux allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted UPX compressed file with a negative offset, which triggers an infinite loop during decompression.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
