Synopsis |
| 19 |
======== |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Multiple vulnerabilities in ClamAV may result in the remote execution |
| 22 |
of arbitrary code. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Background |
| 25 |
========== |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Clam AntiVirus is a free anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, designed |
| 28 |
especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Affected packages |
| 31 |
================= |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 34 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 35 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 36 |
1 app-antivirus/clamav < 0.92.1 >= 0.92.1 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Description |
| 39 |
=========== |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
An integer overflow has been reported in the "cli_scanpe()" function in |
| 42 |
file libclamav/pe.c (CVE-2008-0318). Another unspecified vulnerability |
| 43 |
has been reported in file libclamav/mew.c (CVE-2008-0728). |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Impact |
| 46 |
====== |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to scan a |
| 49 |
specially crafted file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary |
| 50 |
code with the privileges of the user running ClamAV (either a system |
| 51 |
user or the "clamav" user if clamd is compromised). |
| 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-0.92.1" |
| 65 |
|
