+ <title>ClamAV: Denial of Service</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ ClamAV contains two vulnerabilities allowing a Denial of Service.
+ </synopsis>

+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-antivirus/clamav" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ ClamAV is a GPL virus scanner.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ An anonymous researcher discovered a file descriptor leak error in the
+ processing of CAB archives and a lack of validation of the "id"
+ parameter string used to create local files when parsing MIME headers.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker can send several crafted CAB archives with a
+ zero-length record header that will fill the available file descriptors
+ until no other is available, which will prevent ClamAV from scanning
+ most archives. An attacker can also send an email with specially
+ crafted MIME headers to overwrite local files with the permissions of
+ the user running ClamAV, such as the virus database file, which could
+ prevent ClamAV from detecting any virus.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ The first vulnerability can be prevented by refusing any file of type
+ CAB, but there is no known workaround for the second issue.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.90&quot;</code>
