AVG AntiVirus Free icarus Arbitrary File Creation Denial of Service Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations of AVG AntiVirus Free. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the AVG Installer. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the update functionality to create a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a persistent denial-of-service condition on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-22942.

Esta vulnerabilidad permite a los atacantes locales crear una condici\u00f3n de denegaci\u00f3n de servicio en las instalaciones afectadas de AVG AntiVirus Free. Para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, un atacante primero debe obtener la capacidad de ejecutar c\u00f3digo con pocos privilegios en el sistema de destino. La falla espec\u00edfica existe dentro del instalador de AVG. Al crear un v\u00ednculo simb\u00f3lico, un atacante puede abusar de la funcionalidad de actualizaci\u00f3n para crear un archivo. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para crear una condici\u00f3n de denegaci\u00f3n de servicio persistente en el sistema. Era ZDI-CAN-22942."
