21 <title>ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
22 <synopsis>
23 Vulnerabilities have been discovered in ClamAV allowing remote execution of
24 arbitrary code and Denial of Service attacks.

39 Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX,
40 designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways.

45 Nikolaos Rangos discovered a vulnerability in ClamAV which exists
46 because the recipient address extracted from email messages is not
47 properly sanitized before being used in a call to "popen()" when
48 executing sendmail (CVE-2007-4560). Also, NULL-pointer dereference
49 errors exist within the "cli_scanrtf()" function in libclamav/rtf.c and
50 Stefanos Stamatis discovered a NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability
51 within the "cli_html_normalise()" function in libclamav/htmlnorm.c
52 (CVE-2007-4510).

55 <impact type="high">
56 <p>
57 The unsanitized recipient address can be exploited to execute arbitrary
58 code with the privileges of the clamav-milter process by sending an
59 email with a specially crafted recipient address to the affected
60 system. Also, the NULL-pointer dereference errors can be exploited to
61 crash ClamAV. Successful exploitation of the latter vulnerability
62 requires that clamav-milter is started with the "black hole" mode
63 activated, which is not enabled by default.
64 </p>
65 </impact>
66 <workaround>
67 <p>
68 There is no known workaround at this time.
69 </p>
70 </workaround>
71 <resolution>
72 <p>
73 All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
74 </p>
75 <code>
76 # emerge --sync
77 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.91.2&quot;</code>
78 </resolution>
