CVE-2008-3373
The files parsing engine in Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus before 8.0.156 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (engine crash) via a crafted UPX compressed file, which triggers a divide-by-zero error.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
