Severity: Normal
Title: ClamAV: Multiple Denials of Service
Date: June 15, 2007
Bugs: #178082
ID: 200706-05

---

Synopsis

ClamAV contains several vulnerabilities leading to a Denial of Service.

Background

ClamAV is a GPL virus scanner.

Affected packages

-------------------------------------------------------------------
 Package               /  Vulnerable  /                 Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1 app-antivirus/clamav < 0.90.3 >= 0.90.3

Description

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in ClamAV by various
researchers:

• Victor Stinner (INL) discovered that the OLE2 parser may enter in
  an infinite loop (CVE-2007-2650).

• A boundary error was also reported by an anonymous researcher in
  the file unsp.c, which might lead to a buffer overflow
  (CVE-2007-3023).

• The file unrar.c contains a heap-based buffer overflow via a
  modified vm_codesize value from a RAR file (CVE-2007-3123).

• The RAR parsing engine can be bypassed via a RAR file with a header
  flag value of 10 (CVE-2007-3122).

• The cli_gentempstream() function from clamdscan creates temporary
  files with insecure permissions (CVE-2007-3024).

Impact

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted file to the scanner,
possibly triggering one of the vulnerabilities. The two buffer
overflows are reported to only cause Denial of Service. This would lead
to a Denial of Service by CPU consumption or a crash of the scanner.
The insecure temporary file creation vulnerability could be used by a
local user to access sensitive data.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.90.3"
