Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
ClamAV is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow potentially |
19 |
allowing remote execution of arbitrary code and a Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
ClamAV is a GPL virus scanner. |
25 |
|
26 |
Affected packages |
27 |
================= |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Damian Put and an anonymous researcher reported a potential heap-based |
38 |
buffer overflow vulnerability in rebuildpe.c responsible for the |
39 |
rebuilding of an unpacked PE file, and a possible crash in chmunpack.c |
40 |
in the CHM unpacker. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
By sending a malicious attachment to a mail server running ClamAV, or |
46 |
providing a malicious file to ClamAV through any other method, a remote |
47 |
attacker could cause a Denial of Service and potentially the execution |
48 |
of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running ClamAV. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.88.5" |
