Race condition in Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010 17.50.1647.0000 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 concerns an old Trend Micro consumer security product on Windows XP. A local program that is already running could race the product’s kernel hook checks and evade behavior blocking. The sources describe a protection-bypass weakness, not remote compromise, and note that the issue was disputed by some parties. Exposure appears limited to legacy Windows XP systems running the named Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010 build. The bundle does not provide a broader affected-version matrix, CVSS score, CWE, or confirmed supported-product impact. Treat as a legacy exposure issue. It is not evidenced as remotely exploitable or actively exploited, but any remaining Windows XP endpoint running this product deserves prompt retirement, isolation, or replacement planning. Mitigation focus: Inventory for Windows XP systems running the named Trend Micro build.; Check Trend Micro guidance for historical fixes or replacement recommendations.; Retire or isolate unsupported Windows XP endpoints where feasible..
