Multiple integer overflows in Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus before 7.1.407 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted (1) CAB or (2) RAR archives that trigger a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus releases before 7.1.407 could be compromised when processing malicious CAB or RAR archive files. The reported impact is remote arbitrary code execution. This matters most where legacy AVG still scans email attachments, downloads, or file shares containing untrusted archives. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems still running Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus before 7.1.407, especially where CAB or RAR archives are automatically scanned from mail, web downloads, or shared storage. Prioritize remediation if any legacy AVG deployment remains in production. Although the CVE is old and active exploitation is not evidenced here, antivirus archive parsing runs on untrusted files and the reported impact is code execution. Mitigation focus: Upgrade AVG Anti-Virus to 7.1.407 or later where this legacy product remains installed.; Replace unsupported AVG deployments with a currently supported endpoint security product.; Reduce handling of untrusted CAB and RAR archives until affected scanners are remediated..
