Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities in ClamAV may result in a Denial of Service. |
19 |
|
20 |
Background |
21 |
========== |
22 |
|
23 |
Clam AntiVirus is a free anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, designed |
24 |
especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways. |
25 |
|
26 |
Affected packages |
27 |
================= |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Hanno boeck reported an error in libclamav/chmunpack.c when processing |
38 |
CHM files (CVE-2008-1389). Other unspecified vulnerabilites were also |
39 |
reported, including a NULL pointer dereference in libclamav |
40 |
(CVE-2008-3912), memory leaks in freshclam/manager.c (CVE-2008-3913), |
41 |
and file descriptor leaks in libclamav/others.c and libclamav/sis.c |
42 |
(CVE-2008-3914). |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to scan a |
48 |
specially crafted CHM, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service |
49 |
(daemon crash). The other attack vectors mentioned above could also |
50 |
result in a Denial of Service. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |
63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.94" |
64 |
