Description

Race condition in Avira Premium Security Suite 10.0.0.536 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

Weakness classification

  • CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
  • CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
