ClamAV < 0.99.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9261

Synopsis

The remote host is running an anti-virus application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

Versions of ClamAV prior to 0.99.1 are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in the 'ea05()' and 'ea06()' functions in 'autoit.c'. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a denial of service.
- An out-of-bounds read flaw affects the 'rijndaelSetupEncrypt()' function in 'rijndael.c'. The issue is triggered during the decryption of PDF files. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a denial of service.
- An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in the 'parseEmailFile()' function in 'mbox.c'. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a denial of service.
- An out-of-bounds write flaw exists in the 'screnc_decode()' function in 'htmlnorm.c' that may allow a context-dependent attacker to have an unspecified impact that may potentially include the execution of arbitrary code.
- An overflow condition affects the 'wwunpack()' function in 'wwunpack.c'. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service.
- An out-of-bounds write flaw affects the 'handle_df()' function in 'js-norm.c' that allows a context-dependent attacker to write to adjacent buffers. This may allow the attacker to have an unspecified impact that may potentially include the execution of arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of a specially crafted '.7z' file. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a memory overlay and crash the program, which can leave the system vulnerable to other attacks.
- An integer underflow condition exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow an attacker to have an unspecified impact. No further details have been provided.

Solution

Upgrade to ClamAV 0.99.1 or later.
