Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
ClamAV contains several vulnerabilities leading to a Denial of Service. |
19 |
|
20 |
Background |
21 |
========== |
22 |
|
23 |
ClamAV is a GPL virus scanner. |

Description |
34 |
=========== |
35 |
|
36 |
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in ClamAV by various |
37 |
researchers: |
38 |
|
39 |
* Victor Stinner (INL) discovered that the OLE2 parser may enter in |
40 |
an infinite loop (CVE-2007-2650). |
41 |
|
42 |
* A boundary error was also reported by an anonymous researcher in |
43 |
the file unsp.c, which might lead to a buffer overflow |
44 |
(CVE-2007-3023). |
45 |
|
46 |
* The file unrar.c contains a heap-based buffer overflow via a |
47 |
modified vm_codesize value from a RAR file (CVE-2007-3123). |
48 |
|
49 |
* The RAR parsing engine can be bypassed via a RAR file with a header |
50 |
flag value of 10 (CVE-2007-3122). |
51 |
|
52 |
* The cli_gentempstream() function from clamdscan creates temporary |
53 |
files with insecure permissions (CVE-2007-3024). |
54 |
|
55 |
Impact |
56 |
====== |
57 |
|
58 |
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted file to the scanner, |
59 |
possibly triggering one of the vulnerabilities. The two buffer |
60 |
overflows are reported to only cause Denial of Service. This would lead |
61 |
to a Denial of Service by CPU consumption or a crash of the scanner. |
62 |
The insecure temporary file creation vulnerability could be used by a |
63 |
local user to access sensitive data. |
64 |
|
65 |
Workaround |
66 |
========== |
67 |
|
68 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
69 |
|
70 |
Resolution |
71 |
========== |
72 |
|
73 |
All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version: |
74 |
|
75 |
# emerge --sync |
76 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.90.3" |
77 |
