CVE-2013-0122: The avast!

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-0122 is a denial-of-service issue in avast! Mobile Security for Android before 2.0.4400. A malicious app on the same device could trigger a crash in the security app. The business impact is mainly loss of mobile security app availability, not confirmed data theft or device takeover. Exposure is likely limited to Android devices still running avast! Mobile Security versions before 2.0.4400, especially where users can install untrusted apps. Modern managed fleets are unlikely to be exposed unless they retain this legacy app version. Treat as low priority unless legacy Android devices using old avast! Mobile Security remain in scope. The issue affects availability of the security app and has no cited evidence of active exploitation, but outdated mobile security tools should still be cleaned up. Mitigation focus: Inventory Android devices for avast! Mobile Security versions before 2.0.4400.; Upgrade avast! Mobile Security to 2.0.4400 or later where applicable.; Remove unsupported legacy installations if updates are unavailable..
