New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 5.9
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.
Description
Moritz Jodeit discovered that ClamAV, an anti-virus solution, suffers from an off-by-one-error in its VBA project file processing, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially arbitrary code execution (CVE-2008-5050 ).
Ilja van Sprundel discovered that ClamAV contains a denial of service condition in its JPEG file processing because it does not limit the recursion depth when processing JPEG thumbnails (CVE-2008-5314 ).
Solution
Upgrade the clamav packages.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 0.90.1dfsg-4etch16.
