ClamAV before 0.98.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted y0da cryptor file.
(CVE-2015-2221)

ClamAV before 0.98.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted xz archive file. (CVE-2015-2668)

ClamAV before 0.98.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted petite packed file. (CVE-2015-2222)

The upx decoder in ClamAV before 0.98.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2015-2170)

According to its version, the ClamAV clamd antivirus daemon on the remote host is prior to 0.98.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the pefromupx() function     in upx.c. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw, via a     specially crafted file, to crash the application.
    (CVE-2015-2170)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the yc_poly_emulator()     function in yc.c. A remote attacker can exploit this     flaw, via a specially crafted y0da cryptor file, to     cause an infinite loop and application hang.
    (CVE-2015-2221)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the cli_scanpe() function     in pe.c. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted petite packer file, to crash the     program. (CVE-2015-2222)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the bundled     Henry Spencer regex library in the regcomp() function in     regcomp.c due to improper validation of user-supplied     input. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a     buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2305)

  - An unspecified flaw exists when handling specially     crafted xz archive files. A remote attacker can exploit     this to cause an infinite loop. (CVE-2015-2668)

The ClamAV antivirus engine was updated to version 0.98.7 to fix several security and non-security issues.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed (bsc#929192) :

  - CVE-2015-2170: Fix crash in upx decoder with crafted     file. Discovered and patch supplied by Sebastian Andrzej     Siewior.

  - CVE-2015-2221: Fix infinite loop condition on crafted     y0da cryptor file. Identified and patch suggested by     Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.

  - CVE-2015-2222: Fix crash on crafted petite packed file.
    Reported and patch supplied by Sebastian Andrzej     Siewior.

  - CVE-2015-2668: Fix an infinite loop condition on a     crafted 'xz' archive file. This was reported by Dimitri     Kirchner and Goulven Guiheux.

  - CVE-2015-2305: Apply upstream patch for possible heap     overflow in Henry Spencer's regex library.

The following bugfixes were applyed (bsc#929192) :

  - Fix false negatives on files within iso9660 containers.
    This issue was reported by Minzhuan Gong.

  - Fix a couple crashes on crafted upack packed file.
    Identified and patches supplied by Sebastian Andrzej     Siewior.

  - Scanning/analysis of additional Microsoft Office 2003     XML format.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in clamav :

Fix infinite loop condition on crafted y0da cryptor file. Identified and patch suggested by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (CVE-2015-2221).

Fix crash on crafted petite packed file. Reported and patch supplied by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (CVE-2015-2222).

Fix an infinite loop condition on a crafted xz archive file. This was reported by Dimitri Kirchner and Goulven Guiheux (CVE-2015-2668).

Apply upstream patch for possible heap overflow in Henry Spencer's regex library (CVE-2015-2305).

Fix crash in upx decoder with crafted file. Discovered and patch supplied by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (CVE-2015-2170).

The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.

Versions of ClamAV earlier than 0.98.7 are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities : 

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'pefromupx()' function in 'upx.c'. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw, via a specially crafted file, to crash the application. (CVE-2015-2170)
 - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'yc_poly_emulator()' function in 'yc.c'. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw, via a specially crafted y0da cryptor file, to cause an infinite loop and application hang. (CVE-2015-2221)
 - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'cli_scanpe()' function in 'pe.c'. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted petite packer file, to crash the program. (CVE-2015-2222)
 - An integer overflow condition exists in the bundled Henry Spencer regex library in the 'regcomp()' function in 'regcomp.c' due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2305)
 - An unspecified flaw exists when handling specially crafted '.xz' archive files. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause an infinite loop. (CVE-2015-2668)

It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled certain malformed files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the ClamAV AppArmor profile.

Upstream published version 0.98.7. This update updates sqeeze-lts to the latest upstream release in line with the approach used for other Debian releases.

The changes are not strictly required for operation, but users of the previous version in Squeeze may not be able to make use of all current virus signatures and might get warnings.

The bug fixes that are part of this release include security fixes related to packed or crypted files (CVE-2014-9328, CVE-2015-1461, CVE-2015-1462, CVE-2015-1463, CVE-2015-2170, CVE-2015-2221, CVE-2015-2222, and CVE-2015-2668) and several fixes to the embedded libmspack library, including a potential infinite loop in the Quantum decoder (CVE-2014-9556).

If you use clamav, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to this version.
