Synopsis
========
Clam AntiVirus is subject to vulnerabilities ranging from Denial of
Service to execution of arbitrary code when handling compressed
executables.
Background
==========
Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit, designed for integration
with mail servers to perform attachment scanning. Clam AntiVirus also
provides a command line scanner and a tool for fetching updates of the
virus database.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-antivirus/clamav < 0.87 >= 0.87
Description
===========
Clam AntiVirus is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in "libclamav/upx.c"
when processing malformed UPX-packed executables. It can also be sent
into an infinite loop in "libclamav/fsg.c" when processing
specially-crafted FSG-packed executables.
Impact
======
By sending a specially-crafted file an attacker could execute arbitrary
code with the permissions of the user running Clam AntiVirus, or cause
a Denial of Service.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Clam AntiVirus users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.87"
