Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security update.Description
Some vulnerabilities have been found in ClamAV, an open source antivirus engine :CVE-2018-0202
It was found that ClamAV didn't process certain PDF files correctly, relating to a heap overflow. Specially crafted PDFs could yield ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service or potentially execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2018-1000085
Hanno Böck discovered that ClamAV didn't process XAR files correctly. Malformed XAR files could cause ClamAV to crash by an out of bounds heap read. This could result in a denial of service.
For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.99.4+dfsg-1+deb7u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.
