Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
ClamAV has many security flaws which make it vulnerable to remote |
19 |
execution of arbitrary code and a Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
ClamAV is a GPL anti-virus toolkit, designed for integration with mail |
25 |
servers to perform attachment scanning. ClamAV also provides a command |
26 |
line scanner and a tool for fetching updates of the virus database. |
27 |
|
28 |
Affected packages |
29 |
================= |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
ClamAV has multiple security flaws: a boundary check was performed |
40 |
incorrectly in petite.c, a buffer size calculation in unfsg_133 was |
41 |
incorrect in fsg.c, a possible infinite loop was fixed in tnef.c and a |
42 |
possible infinite loop in cabd_find was fixed in cabd.c . In addition |
43 |
to this, Marcin Owsiany reported that a corrupted DOC file causes a |
44 |
segmentation fault in ClamAV. |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
By sending a malicious attachment to a mail server that is hooked with |
50 |
ClamAV, a remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service or the |
51 |
execution of arbitrary code. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
57 |
|
58 |
Resolution |
59 |
========== |
60 |
|
61 |
All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --sync |
64 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.87.1" |
65 |
