Kaspersky Lab confirmed on Tuesday that a potentially serious flaw exists in its antivirus software, but said a fix is on the way.
A socially engineered e-mail, which contains a Trojan file that exploits a zero-day vulnerability and then hides behind a rootkit, might be the perfect attack and impossible to defend against.
