Race condition in Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 9.0.0.736 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 is an old, disputed issue in Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 on Windows XP. A program already running locally could race the product’s protection checks and bypass some behavior-blocking controls. It is not evidence of remote compromise by itself, but it matters if legacy XP systems still rely on this software for endpoint protection. Likely limited to legacy Windows XP endpoints running Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 9.0.0.736 or similar vulnerable configurations. The bundle does not identify broader supported products, modern versions, or server exposure. Prioritize if the organization still operates Windows XP or Kaspersky Internet Security 2010. For modern fleets, urgency is low, but the finding is a useful signal to remove unsupported endpoint security and legacy operating systems. Mitigation focus: Inventory for Windows XP systems and Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 9.0.0.736.; Retire or isolate Windows XP endpoints wherever business operations allow.; Check Kaspersky guidance and upgrade to a supported security product version..
