------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

 <http://www.kaspersky.com/> Kaspersky Antivirus(KAV) is "a popular 
Antivirus software bundle". A vulnerability in the Kaspersky product 
allows local attackers to use the program's handling of messages to cause 
it to execute programs at ring-0 privileges level. The following exploit 
code can be used to determine whether your version of the product is 
vulnerable or not.
