Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in AVG Anti-Virus, which could be exploited by attackers or malware to take complete control of an affected system or cause a denial of service. These flaws are due to integer overflow, buffer overflow, uninitialized variable, and division by zero errors when processing malformed CAB, DOC, RAR, and EXE files, which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable application or execute arbitrary commands via a specially crafted file.
