GLSA-200601-07 : ClamAV: Remote execution of arbitrary code

high Nessus Plugin ID 20417

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200601-07 (ClamAV: Remote execution of arbitrary code)

 Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) reported a heap buffer overflow vulnerability. The vulnerability is due to an incorrect boundary check of the user-supplied data prior to copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. The flaw occurs when the application attempts to handle compressed UPX files.
 Impact :

 For example by sending a maliciously crafted UPX file into a mail server that is integrated with ClamAV, a remote attacker's supplied code could be executed with escalated privileges.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-antivirus/clamav-0.88'
