According to its version, the ClamAV clamd antivirus daemon on the remote host is prior to 0.98.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the pefromupx() function     in upx.c. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw, via a     specially crafted file, to crash the application.
    (CVE-2015-2170)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the yc_poly_emulator()     function in yc.c. A remote attacker can exploit this     flaw, via a specially crafted y0da cryptor file, to     cause an infinite loop and application hang.
    (CVE-2015-2221)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the cli_scanpe() function     in pe.c. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted petite packer file, to crash the     program. (CVE-2015-2222)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the bundled     Henry Spencer regex library in the regcomp() function in     regcomp.c due to improper validation of user-supplied     input. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a     buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2305)

  - An unspecified flaw exists when handling specially     crafted xz archive files. A remote attacker can exploit     this to cause an infinite loop. (CVE-2015-2668)

The ClamAV antivirus engine was updated to version 0.98.7 to fix several security and non-security issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201512-08 (ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in ClamAV. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could cause ClamAV to scan a specially crafted file,       possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition or other unspecified       impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Upstream published version 0.98.7. This update updates sqeeze-lts to the latest upstream release in line with the approach used for other Debian releases.

The changes are not strictly required for operation, but users of the previous version in Squeeze may not be able to make use of all current virus signatures and might get warnings.

The bug fixes that are part of this release include security fixes related to packed or crypted files (CVE-2014-9328, CVE-2015-1461, CVE-2015-1462, CVE-2015-1463, CVE-2015-2170, CVE-2015-2221, CVE-2015-2222, and CVE-2015-2668) and several fixes to the embedded libmspack library, including a potential infinite loop in the Quantum decoder (CVE-2014-9556).

If you use clamav, we strongly 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.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2594-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled certain malformed files. A remote attacker could use     this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

    In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the ClamAV AppArmor profile.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Versions of ClamAV earlier than 0.98.7 are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities : 

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'pefromupx()' function in 'upx.c'. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw, via a specially crafted file, to crash the application. (CVE-2015-2170)
 - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'yc_poly_emulator()' function in 'yc.c'. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw, via a specially crafted y0da cryptor file, to cause an infinite loop and application hang. (CVE-2015-2221)
 - An unspecified flaw exists in the 'cli_scanpe()' function in 'pe.c'. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted petite packer file, to crash the program. (CVE-2015-2222)
 - An integer overflow condition exists in the bundled Henry Spencer regex library in the 'regcomp()' function in 'regcomp.c' due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2305)
 - An unspecified flaw exists when handling specially crafted '.xz' archive files. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause an infinite loop. (CVE-2015-2668)
