The scanning engine before 4.4.4 in F-Prot Antivirus before 6.0.9.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (engine crash) via a CHM file with a large nb_dir value that triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a denial-of-service flaw in legacy F-Prot Antivirus. A malicious CHM file could crash the antivirus scanning engine, reducing protection on affected systems or gateways. The supplied sources do not show data theft, code execution, or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where legacy F-Prot Antivirus versions before 6.0.9.0 or engine versions before 4.4.4 still scan files, email attachments, or downloads. The source bundle lacks CPEs and detailed platform scope. Treat as a targeted legacy-risk item, not a broad emergency. Prioritize remediation if F-Prot still protects email, downloads, or shared-file workflows, because scanner crashes can weaken malware defenses. Mitigation focus: Inventory F-Prot Antivirus and scanning engine versions.; Upgrade to F-Prot Antivirus 6.0.9.0 or engine 4.4.4 or later.; Check F-Prot release notes and advisories for supported remediation guidance..
