Published Jan 11, 2021 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

K7TSMngr.exe reads past the end of a supplied buffer while processing specially crafted input received through an internal communication channel. Exploitation requires local delivery and user interaction, and the reported consequence is interruption of the antivirus service without data exposure or code execution.
