Background ========== ClamAV is a GPL virus scanner. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-antivirus/clamav < 0.88.1 >= 0.88.1 Description =========== 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. Resolution ========== All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.88.1" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-1614 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1614 [ 2 ] CVE-2006-1615 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1615 [ 3 ] CVE-2006-1630 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1630 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200604-06.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
