What is CVE-2019-3973?

Comodo Antivirus versions 11.0.0.6582 and earlier are affected by a Denial of Service vulnerability through CmdGuard.sys. This vulnerability allows a low privileged process to exploit cmdServicePort. The process can crash CmdVirth.exe, leading to decreased connection count for the port. By hollowing out the CmdVirth.exe instance with malicious code and sending a specially crafted message via the FilterSendMessage API, an out-of-bounds write can be triggered due to improper handling of buffer sizes during a memset operation, resulting in a kernel crash.

Affected Version(s)
