GLSA-200608-13 : ClamAV: Heap buffer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 22199

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-200608-13 (ClamAV: Heap buffer overflow)

 Damian Put has discovered a boundary error in the pefromupx() function used by the UPX extraction module, which unpacks PE Windows executable files. Both the 'clamscan' command-line utility and the 'clamd' daemon are affected.
 Impact :

 By sending a malicious attachment to a mail server running ClamAV, a remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running ClamAV.
 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-0.88.4'
