The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3393-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing certain e-mail messages. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-6418)

    It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled certain malformed CHM files. A remote attacker could use     this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the     ClamAV AppArmor profile. (CVE-2017-6419)

    It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing certain PE files with WWPack compression. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

ClamAV 0.99.3 =============

This release is a security release and is recommended for all ClamAV users. Please see details below :

1. ClamAV UAF (use-after-free) Vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-12374)

---------------------------------------------------------------

The ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.

The vulnerability is due to a lack of input validation checking mechanisms during certain mail parsing operations. If successfully exploited, the ClamAV software could allow a variable pointing to the mail body which could cause a used after being free (use-after-free) instance which may lead to a disruption of services on an affected device to include a denial of service condition.

  - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

  - https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11939

2. ClamAV Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (CVE-2017-12375)

--------------------------------------------------------

The ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.

The vulnerability is due to a lack of input validation checking mechanisms during certain mail parsing functions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email to the affected device. This action could cause a buffer overflow condition when ClamAV scans the malicious email, allowing the attacker to potentially cause a DoS condition on an affected device.

  - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N /A:L

  - https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11940

3. ClamAV Buffer Overflow in handle_pdfname Vulnerability (CVE-2017-12376)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
----

ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or potentially execute arbitrary code on an affected device.

The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms when handling Portable Document Format (.pdf) files sent to an affected device. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted .pdf file to an affected device. This action could cause a buffer overflow when ClamAV scans the malicious file, allowing the attacker to cause a DoS condition or potentially execute arbitrary code.

  - https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11942

  - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

4. ClamAV Mew Packet Heap Overflow Vulnerability (CVE-2017-12377)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or potentially execute arbitrary code on an affected device.

The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms in mew packet files sent to an affected device. A successful exploit could cause a heap overflow condition when ClamAV scans the malicious file, allowing the attacker to cause a DoS condition or potentially execute arbitrary code on the affected device.

  - https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11943

  - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L /A:L

5. ClamAV Buffer Over Read Vulnerability (CVE-2017-12378)

---------------------------------------------------------

ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.

The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms of .tar (Tape Archive) files sent to an affected device. A successful exploit could cause a buffer over-read condition when ClamAV scans the malicious .tar file, potentially allowing the attacker to cause a DoS condition on the affected device.

  - https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11946

  - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N /A:L

6. ClamAV Buffer Overflow in messageAddArgument Vulnerability (CVE-2017-12379)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or potentially execute arbitrary code on an affected device.

The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms in the message parsing function on an affected system. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email to the affected device. This action could cause a buffer overflow condition when ClamAV scans the malicious email, allowing the attacker to potentially cause a DoS condition or execute arbitrary code on an affected device.

  - https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11944

  - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L /A:L

7. ClamAV Null Dereference Vulnerability (CVE-2017-12380)

---------------------------------------------------------

ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.

The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms during certain mail parsing functions of the ClamAV software. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email to the affected device. An exploit could trigger a NULL pointer dereference condition when ClamAV scans the malicious email, which may result in a DoS condition.

  - https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11945

  - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Further fixes/changes

---------------------

Also included are 2 minor fixes to properly detect openssl install locations on FreeBSD 11, and prevent false warnings about zlib 1.2.1# version numbers.

ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or potentially execute arbitrary code on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms when handling Portable Document Format (.pdf) files sent to an affected device. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted .pdf file to an affected device. This action could cause a handle_pdfname (in pdf.c) buffer overflow when ClamAV scans the malicious file, allowing the attacker to cause a DoS condition or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-12376)

ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.
