A vulnerability in the DMG file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition, or possibly other expanded impacts, resulting from memory corruption on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in DMG files during scanning, which may result in an integer overflow on 32-bit platforms only. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted file that contains DMG content to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software.

     * Fixed a 7z parser substream count overflow that could under-allocate parser metadata arrays and write     past them        while reading a malformed archive.
     * Fixed 32-bit DMG parser size checks that could let a short mish stripe table pass validation and crash     32-bit        scanner builds.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - A vulnerability in the DMG file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
    cause a DoS condition, or possibly other expanded impacts, resulting from memory corruption on an affected
    device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in DMG files during scanning,
    which may result in an integer overflow on 32-bit platforms only. An attacker could exploit this
    vulnerability by submitting a crafted file that contains DMG content to be scanned by ClamAV on an
    affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to
    terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software. (CVE-2026-20244)

  - A vulnerability in the PE file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
    cause a DoS condition, or possibly other expanded impacts, resulting from memory corruption on an affected
    device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in PE files during scanning,
    which may result in an out-of-bounds buffer write. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
    submitting a crafted file that contains PE content to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A
    successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting
    in a DoS condition on the affected software. (CVE-2026-20213)

  - A vulnerability in the FSG file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
    cause a DoS condition, or possibly other expanded impacts, resulting from memory corruption on an affected
    device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in FSG files during scanning,
    which may result in an out-of-bounds buffer write. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
    submitting a crafted file that contains portable executable content compressed with FSG to be scanned by
    ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning
    process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software. (CVE-2026-20214)

  - A vulnerability in the 7z file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
    cause a DoS condition, or possibly other expanded impacts, resulting from memory corruption on an affected
    device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in 7z files during scanning,
    which may result in an out-of-bounds buffer write. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
    submitting a crafted file that contains 7z&nbsp;content to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A
    successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting
    in a DoS condition on the affected software. (CVE-2026-20215)

  - A vulnerability in the InstallShield file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote
    attacker to cause a DoS condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper handling of
    temporary resources during file scanning. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a
    crafted InstallShield file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow
    the attacker to terminate the ClamAV scanning process and temporarily consume available system resources,
    resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software. (CVE-2026-20216)

This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in 7z files during scanning,     which may result in an out-of-bounds buffer write. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by     submitting a crafted file that contains 7z content to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A     successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting     in a DoS condition on the affected software. (CVE-2026-20215)
