The German security service BSI has issued a security alert for Kaspersky antivirus, advising users to install the latest patches as soon as possible.
The announcement (is available here in German), does not provide details on whether any exploit is currently being released on Internet exploited by fraudsters. BSI generally warns that malicious users could send an e-mail containing a malicious file their goals, and that this file "should not be opened" under any circumstances.
The security gap reported by BSI is recognized as CVE-2019-8285 and Kaspersky has been fixing it since last month.
