Race condition in AVG Internet Security 9.0.791 on Windows XP allows local users to bypass kernel-mode hook handlers, and execute dangerous code that would otherwise be blocked by a handler but not blocked by signature-based malware detection, via certain user-space memory changes during hook-handler execution, aka an argument-switch attack or a KHOBE attack. NOTE: this issue is disputed by some third parties because it is a flaw in a protection mechanism for situations where a crafted program has already begun to execute

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a disputed weakness in AVG Internet Security 9.0.791 on Windows XP. A local program already running on the machine may bypass AVG’s kernel hook protection during a race condition. Business urgency is mainly for legacy Windows XP environments still relying on this old AVG product as a control. Exposure appears limited to Windows XP systems running AVG Internet Security 9.0.791. The bundle does not provide CPEs, CVSS, broad affected-version data, or a named patch level. Treat this as a legacy-risk cleanup item, not an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize if Windows XP or old AVG deployments still protect business-critical systems. Mitigation focus: Inventory Windows XP systems running AVG Internet Security 9.0.791.; Check AVG or successor vendor guidance for any historical fix or upgrade path.; Replace unsupported Windows XP endpoints where operationally possible..
