Debian DLA-95-1 : clamav security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 82240

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two bugs were discovered in clamav and are fixed by this release.

One issue is in clamscan, the command line anti-virus scanner included in the package, which could lead to crashes when scanning certain files. (CVE-2013-6497)

The second issue is in libclamav which caused a heap buffer overflow when scanning a specially crafted y0da Crypter obfuscated PE file.
(CVE-2014-9050)

If you use clamav, we highly recommend that you upgrade to this version.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
