You'd be a little crazy to run this outside of Russia. I suspect there are more backdoors disguised as "vulnerabilities we knew nothing about, totally, its news to us!" This reads like a trivial overflow which would have been found with some basic testing. This is a common ploy with untrustworthy software.

Maybe Kaspersky was safe to run once, but with Russia's new brazen anti-West attitude, its a liability now.
