Background ========= ClamAV is an antivirus toolkit. It includes a multi-threaded daemon and a command line scanner. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-antivirus/clamav = 0.81 Description ========== ClamAV fails to properly scan ZIP files with special headers(CAN-2005-0133) and base64 encoded images in URLs. Impact ===== By sending a base64 encoded image file in a URL an attacker could evade virus scanning. By sending a specially-crafted ZIP file an attacker could cause a Denial of Service by crashing the clamd daemon. 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-0.81" References ========= [ 1 ] CAN-2005-0133 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0133 [ 2 ] ClamAV Release Announcement [ 3 ] Secunia SA13900 https://www.flexera.com/products/security/software-vulnerability-research/secunia-research Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200501-46 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.
