(Clam AntiVirus: Denial of Service vulnerability)
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.
References:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=337279
Solution:
All Clam AntiVirus users should upgrade to the latest available
version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.86.1"
Risk factor : Medium
