Buffer overflow in the file parsing engine in Avira Antivir Antivirus before 7.03.00.09 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted LZH archive file, resulting from an "integer cast around."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Avira antivirus parsing flaw. A specially crafted LZH archive could crash or potentially take control of vulnerable antivirus processing before version 7.03.00.09. Business risk depends on whether any legacy Avira Antivir installations still inspect email, downloads, or shared files. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy systems still running Avira Antivir Antivirus before 7.03.00.09, especially where the engine scans untrusted archives from email gateways, endpoints, downloads, or file shares. Prioritize remediation if legacy Avira is still present in production. The bug allows possible code execution in security software, but its age means the main risk is unmanaged legacy exposure rather than a confirmed current campaign. Mitigation focus: Inventory Avira Antivir deployments and confirm engine versions.; Upgrade vulnerable installations to 7.03.00.09 or later per vendor guidance.; Replace unsupported legacy antivirus installations with supported security software..
