high Nessus Plugin ID 21403

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory reports :

Clam AntiVirus is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in 'libclamav/upx.c' when processing malformed UPX-packed executables. It can also be sent into an infinite loop in 'libclamav/fsg.c' when processing specially crafted FSG-packed executables.

By sending a specially crafted file an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Clam AntiVirus, or cause a Denial of Service.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
