GLSA-200610-10 : ClamAV: Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 22913

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-200610-10 (ClamAV: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

 Damian Put and an anonymous researcher reported a potential heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in rebuildpe.c responsible for the rebuilding of an unpacked PE file, and a possible crash in chmunpack.c in the CHM unpacker.
 Impact :

 By sending a malicious attachment to a mail server running ClamAV, or providing a malicious file to ClamAV through any other method, a remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running ClamAV.
 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-0.88.5'
