FreeBSD : clamav -- heap overflow vulnerability (342d2e48-26db-11db-9275-000475abc56f)

high Nessus Plugin ID 22198

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Clamav team reports :

A heap overflow vulnerability was discovered in libclamav which could cause a denial of service or allow the execution of arbitrary code.

The problem is specifically located in the PE file rebuild function used by the UPX unpacker.

Relevant code from libclamav/upx.c :

memcpy(dst, newbuf, foffset); *dsize = foffset; free(newbuf);

cli_dbgmsg('UPX: PE structure rebuilt from compressed file\n'); return 1;

Due to improper validation it is possible to overflow the above memcpy() beyond the allocated memory block.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
