ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in ClamAV allowing remote execution of arbitrary code and Denial of Service attacks. clamav 2007-12-29 2007-12-29: 01 202762 remote 0.91.2-r1 0.91.2-r1

Clam AntiVirus is a free anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways.

iDefense reported an integer overflow vulnerability in the cli_scanpe() function when parsing Portable Executable (PE) files packed in the MEW format, that could be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2007-6335). Toeroek Edwin reported an off-by-one error when decompressing MS-ZIP compressed CAB files (CVE-2007-6336). An unspecified vulnerability related to the bzip2 decompression algorithm has also been discovered (CVE-2007-6337).

A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to scan a specially crafted file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running ClamAV (either a system user or the "clamav" user if clamd is compromised).

There is no known workaround at this time.

All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.91.2-r1"
