ClamAV clamav-milter black-hole-mode Sendmail Recipient Field Arbitrary Command Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 29830

Language:

Synopsis

The remote mail server allows execution of arbitrary commands.

Description

The remote host appears to be running a version of Clamav-milter, a filter for sendmail, configured with '--black-hole-mode' that fails to sanitize recipient addresses of shell metacharacters before using them in a call to 'popen()' to determine whether to discard incoming messages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code, typically as root.

Solution

Upgrade to ClamAV 0.91.2 or later.
