It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-9484 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: AVG/Avast Antivirus. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9484/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9484/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-9484","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9484/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-9484","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jjm3-8267-chq9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"AVG/Avast Antivirus","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A null pointer dereference in AVG/Avast Antivirus for macOS allows attackers to crash the application by processing a malformed xar file.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"NLOK","cpe":[{"product":"antivirus","vendor":"avast"},{"product":"antivirus","vendor":"avg"}],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"An null-pointer-derefrence in the engine module in AVG/Avast Antivirus signature \u003c24092400 released on 24/Sep/2024 on MacOS allows a malformed xar file to crash the application during file processing.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Null dereference in Antivirus","id":"CVE-2024-9484","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"VM images built with Image Builder and Proxmox provider use default credentials","id":"CVE-2024-9486"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Uninitialized variable in digital signiture verification may crash the application","id":"CVE-2024-9483"},"products":["Antivirus"],"published":"2024-10-04","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Race condition in (Free/Inernet Security/Ultimate) Antivirus","id":"CVE-2025-13032","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-10867","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8307","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-27"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Integer Overflow in Avast Antiviurs 25.1.981.6 on Windows may result in privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2025-3500","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-45335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation vulnerability in the Sandbox component of Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 allows a local sandboxed code to gain elevated","id":"CVE-2021-45336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-45337","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-07","vendors":["AVG/Avast"]},"summary":"A null pointer dereference in AVG/Avast Antivirus for macOS allows attackers to crash the application by processing a malformed xar file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9484/"}
