device. The vulnerability is due to improper buffer size tracking that may result in a heap buffer over-
read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted PDF file to an affected device. An
exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to crash, resulting in a denial of
service condition. (CVE-2021-1404)
- A vulnerability in the email parsing module in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) Software version 0.103.1 and all
prior versions could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition on
