This paper presents an application of the MATINE method for
investigating dependencies in antivirus (AV) software and some
vulnerabilities arising from these dependencies. Previously, this
method has been effectively used to find vulnerabilities in network
protocols. Because AV software is as vulnerable as any other software
and has a great security impact, we decided to use this method to find
vulnerabilities in AV software. These findings may have implications
to critical infrastructure, for the use of AV is often considered
obligatory. The results were obtained by gathering semantic data on AV
vulnerabilities, analyisis of the data and content analysis of media
follow-up. The results indicate, that different aspects of AV software
should be observed in the context of critical infrastructure planning
and management.
