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-200604-06 (ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities)
ClamAV contains format string vulnerabilities in the logging code (CVE-2006-1615). Furthermore Damian Put discovered an integer overflow in ClamAV's PE header parser (CVE-2006-1614) and David Luyer discovered that ClamAV can be tricked into performing an invalid memory access (CVE-2006-1630).
Impact :
By sending a malicious attachment to a mail server running ClamAV, a remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service or the execution of arbitrary code. Note that the overflow in the PE header parser is only exploitable when the ArchiveMaxFileSize option is disabled.
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-0.88.1'
