The main purpose of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software. The virus database is based on the virus database from OpenAntiVirus, but contains additional signatures (including signatures for popular polymorphic viruses, too) and is KEPT UP TO DATE. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: - Drop This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. file (bz#1725810) ClamAV 0.101.5 is a security patch release that addresses the following issues. - CVE-2019-15961: A Denial-of-Service (DoS) vulnerability may occur when scanning a specially crafted email file as a result of excessively long scan times. The issue is resolved by implementing several maximums in parsing MIME messages and by optimizing use of memory allocation. - Added the zip scanning improvements found in v0.102.0 where it scans files using ziprecords from a sorted catalogue which provides deduplication of file records resulting in faster extraction and scan time and reducing the likelihood of alerting on non-malicious duplicate file entries as overlapping files. - Signature load time is significantly reduced by changing to a more efficient algorithm for loading signature patterns and allocating the AC trie. Patch courtesy of Alberto Wu. - Introduced a new configure option to statically link libjson-c with libclamav. Static linking with libjson is highly recommended to prevent crashes in applications that use libclamav alongside another JSON parsing library. - Null-dereference fix in email parser when using the --gen-json metadata option. ---- Add TimeoutStartSec=420 to clamd@.service to match upstream --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ChangeLog: * Sat Nov 23 2019 Orion Poplawski - 0.101.5-1 - Update to 0.101.5 (CVE-2019-15961) (bz#1775550) * Mon Nov 18 2019 Orion Poplawski - 0.101.4-3 - Drop This email address is being protected from spambots.

Gentoo: GLSA 200410-31 Low: Archive::Zip Virus Detection Evasion

Email virus scanning software relying on Archive::Zip can be fooled into thinking a ZIP attachment is empty while it contains a virus, allowing detection evasion. [More...]. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200410-31 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Low Title: Archive::Zip: Virus detection evasion Date: October 29, 2004 Bugs: #68616 ID: 200410-31 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= Email virus scanning software relying on Archive::Zip can be fooled into thinking a ZIP attachment is empty while it contains a virus, allowing detection evasion. Background ========= Archive::Zip is a Perl module containing functions to handle ZIP archives. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-perl/Archive-Zip < 1.14 > = 1.14 Description ========== Archive::Zip can be used by email scanning software (like amavisd-new) to uncompress attachments before virus scanning. By modifying the uncompressed size of archived files in the global header of the ZIP file, it is possible to fool Archive::Zip into thinking some files inside the archive have zero length. Impact ===== An attacker could send a carefully crafted ZIP archive containing a virus file and evade detection on some email virus-scanning software relying on Archive::Zip for decompression. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All Archive::Zip users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =dev-perl/Archive-Zip-1.14" References ========= [ 1 ] iDEFENSE Security Advisory 10.18.04 [ 2 ] rt.cpan.org bug #8077 https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200410-31 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
