GLSA-200805-19 : ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 32417

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200805-19 (ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported:
Damian Put reported a heap-based buffer overflow when processing PeSpin packed PE binaries (CVE-2008-0314).
Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research reported a buffer overflow in the cli_scanpe() function when processing Upack PE binaries (CVE-2008-1100).
Hanno Boeck reported an infinite loop when processing ARJ archives (CVE-2008-1387).
Damian Put and Thomas Pollet reported a heap-based buffer overflow when processing WWPack compressed PE binaries (CVE-2008-1833).
A buffer over-read was discovered in the rfc2231() function when producing a string that is not NULL terminated (CVE-2008-1836).
An unspecified vulnerability leading to 'memory problems' when scanning RAR files was reported (CVE-2008-1837).
Thierry Zoller reported that scanning of RAR files could be circumvented (CVE-2008-1835).
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), or a Denial of Service.
Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-antivirus/clamav-0.93'
