44 Hanno boeck reported an error in libclamav/chmunpack.c when processing
45 CHM files (CVE-2008-1389). Other unspecified vulnerabilites were also
46 reported, including a NULL pointer dereference in libclamav
47 (CVE-2008-3912), memory leaks in freshclam/manager.c (CVE-2008-3913),
48 and file descriptor leaks in libclamav/others.c and libclamav/sis.c
49 (CVE-2008-3914).

52 <impact type="normal">
53 <p>
54 A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to scan a
55 specially crafted CHM, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service
56 (daemon crash). The other attack vectors mentioned above could also
57 result in a Denial of Service.

59 </impact>
60 <workaround>
61 <p>
62 There is no known workaround at this time.
63 </p>
64 </workaround>
65 <resolution>
66 <p>
67 All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
68 </p>
69 <code>
70 # emerge --sync
71 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.94&quot;</code>
