 Package : clamav Version : 0.103.9+dfsg-0+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-20197 Debian Bug : 1050057

 A vulnerability in the filesystem image parser for Hierarchical File System Plus (HFS+) of ClamAV, an anti-virus utility for Unix, could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in new upstream version 0.103.9+dfsg-0+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.
