 Package : clamav Version : 1.0.9+dfsg-1~deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2025-20128 CVE-2025-20260 Debian Bug : 1093880 1108046

 A couple of vulnerabilities have been fixed in ClamAV, an anti-virus utility for Unix.

 CVE-2025-20128

 The Object Linking and Embedding 2 (OLE2) decryption routine of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.

 CVE-2025-20260

 The PDF scanning processes of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow condition, cause a denial of service (DoS) condition, or execute arbitrary code on an affected device.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.9+dfsg-1~deb11u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.
