- --- 1. Kaspersky AV/IS 2010 avp.exe Denial of Service ---
The main problem exists in parsing url addresses. If we give a lot of
dots, kaspersky avp.exe proccess, will get 100% of CPU and will block
trafic via browsers.    
Relativistic time to return to normal behavior is very long. In
practice, when we give a large number of dots, kaspesky will not return
to normal behavior.

This example will denial access to the browser and other kaspersky
operations

http://lu.cxib.net/.................[ .xY where 1024<Y]

It can be exploited remotely by html code. (like: send email)

<img src="http://lu.cxib.net/..........................[ more dots ]">

The user who executed the code above, will be deprived of the
possibility of browsing and successive reset the kaspersky.

Tested on:
- - Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 9.0.0.459 (a) (EN) + Windows Vista
Enterprise (EN)
- - Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 9.0.0.463 (DE) + Windows XP Home Edition (DE)

0day (18.08.2009) exploit you can find:

http://securityreason.com/downloads/kaspersky.2010.dos.html

This script, will generate <img> tags with different url lenght to block
kaspersky services.

However we can exploit this issue via html email. The method of attack
is simple. The victim need only refer to a faulty address.
