SUSE SLED15 / SLES15 Security Update : clamav (SUSE-SU-2019:3053-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 131305

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for clamav fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

CVE-2019-12625: Fixed a ZIP bomb issue by adding detection and heuristics for zips with overlapping files (bsc#1144504).

CVE-2019-12900: Fixed an out-of-bounds write in decompress.c with many selectors (bsc#1149458).

Non-security issues fixed: Added the --max-scantime clamscan option and MaxScanTime clamd configuration option (bsc#1144504).

Increased the startup timeout of clamd to 5 minutes to cater for the grown virus database as a workaround until clamd has learned to talk to systemd to extend the timeout as long as needed (bsc#1151839).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
