Base vector

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Avira Antivir Antivirus versions prior to 7.04.00.24

Description The issue is related to the file parsing engine, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This is achieved through a crafted UPX compressed file that triggers a divide-by-zero error.

Recommendations For versions prior to 7.04.00.24, update to version 7.04.00.24 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of UPX compressed files until the update is applied.
