Gentoo: GLSA-200802-09: ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities
Summary
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200802-09 https://security.gentoo.org/
Severity: High Title: ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: February 21, 2008 Bugs: #209915 ID: 200802-09
Synopsis ======= Multiple vulnerabilities in ClamAV may result in the remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background ========= Clam AntiVirus is a free anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways.
Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-antivirus/clamav < 0.92.1 >= 0.92.1
========== An integer overflow has been reported in the "cli_scanpe()" function in file libclamav/pe.c (CVE-2008-0318). Another unspecified vulnerability has been reported in file libclamav/mew.c (CVE-2008-0728).
Impact ===== 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).
Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ========= All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.92.1"
