Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2022 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of clamav installed on the remote host is prior to 0.103.7-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-229 advisory.

The vulnerability is due to improper checks that may result in an invalid pointer read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted OOXML file to an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-20698)
