      * CVE-2025-20128, bsc#1236307: Fixed a possible buffer overflow         read bug in the OLE2 file parser that could cause a         denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

    - Start clamonacc with --fdpass to avoid errors due to       clamd not being able to access user files. (bsc#1232242)

    - New version 1.4.1:

      * https://blog.clamav.net/2024/09/clamav-141-132-107-and-010312-security.html

      * Added ability for Freshclam to use a client certificate PEM         file and a private key PEM file for authentication to a private         mirror.
      * Fix an issue extracting files from ISO9660 partitions where the         files are listed in the plain ISO tree and there also exists an         empty Joliet tree.
      * PID and socket are now located under /run/clamav/clamd.pid and         /run/clamav/clamd.sock .
      * bsc#1211594: Fixed an issue where ClamAV does not abort the         signature load process after partially loading an invalid         signature.

    - New version 1.1.0:

      * https://blog.clamav.net/2023/05/clamav-110-released.html
      * Added the ability to extract images embedded in HTML CSS         <style> blocks.
      * Updated to Sigtool so that the '--vba' option will extract VBA         code from Microsoft Office documents the same way that         libclamav extracts VBA.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7011-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled certain PDF files. A remote attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-20505)

    It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled logfile privileges. A local attacker could use this     issue to cause ClamAV to overwrite arbitrary files, possibly leading to privilege escalation.

The ClamAV reported version is < 103.12, 1.0.x < 1.0.7, 1.1.0 < x < 1.3.2, or 1.4.0 < 1.4.1  It is, therefore, affected by a Denial of Service vulnerability in the PDF parsing module, where an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted PDF file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of clamav installed on the remote host is prior to 0.103.12-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2644 advisory.

    A vulnerability in the PDF parsing module of Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) versions 1.4.0, 1.3.2 and prior     versions, all 1.2.x versions, 1.0.6 and prior versions, all 0.105.x versions, all 0.104.x versions, and     0.103.11 and all prior versions could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of     service (DoS) condition on an affected device.The vulnerability is due to an out of bounds read. An     attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted PDF file to be scanned by ClamAV on an     affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to terminate the scanning process. (CVE-2024-20505)

    A vulnerability in the ClamD service module of Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) versions 1.4.0, 1.3.2 and prior     versions, all 1.2.x versions, 1.0.6 and prior versions, all 0.105.x versions, all 0.104.x versions, and     0.103.11 and all prior versions could allow an authenticated, local attacker to corrupt critical system     files.The vulnerability is due to allowing the ClamD process to write to its log file while privileged     without checking if the logfile has been replaced with a symbolic link. An attacker could exploit this     vulnerability if they replace the ClamD log file with a symlink to a critical system file and then find a     way to restart the ClamD process. An exploit could allow the attacker to corrupt a critical system file by     appending ClamD log messages after restart. (CVE-2024-20506)
