Synopsis ========
Clam AntiVirus is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack when processing certain Quantum archives.
Background ==========
Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit, designed for integration with mail servers to perform attachment scanning. Clam AntiVirus also provides a command line scanner and a tool for fetching updates of the virus database.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-antivirus/clamav < 0.86.1 >= 0.86.1
Description ===========
Andrew Toller and Stefan Kanthak discovered that a flaw in libmspack's Quantum archive decompressor renders Clam AntiVirus vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a Denial of Service by sending a specially crafted Quantum archive to the server.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Clam AntiVirus users should upgrade to the latest available version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.86.1"
