CVE-2008-3243
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the scanning engine before 4.4.4 in F-Prot Antivirus before 6.0.9.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via (1) a crafted UPX-compressed file, which triggers an engine crash; (2) a crafted Microsoft Office file, which triggers an infinite loop; or (3) an ASPack-compressed file, which triggers an engine crash.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 4.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.14%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 81
- Score date: 10/5/2026
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).
