high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408066

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A vulnerability in the filesystem image parser for Hierarchical File System Plus (HFS+) of ClamAV could
 allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected
 device. This vulnerability is due to an incorrect check for completion when a file is decompressed, which
 may result in a loop condition that could cause the affected software to stop responding. An attacker
 could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted HFS+ filesystem image to be scanned by ClamAV on
 an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to
 stop responding, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software and consuming available system
 resources. For a description of this vulnerability, see the ClamAV blog . (CVE-2023-20197)
