Overview
A buffer overflow in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Description
Clam AntiVirus is a UNIX-based, anti-virus toolkit often deployed with mail servers to detect malicious attachments. A signedness error in ClamAV (libclamav/upx.c) may allow a buffer overflow to occur. If a remote attacker sends a specially crafted UPX-packed executable to a vulnerable ClamAV installation, that attacker may be able to trigger the buffer overflow. |
Impact
A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application linked to the ClamAV process. In addition, this vulnerability may prevent ClamAV from detecting malicious UPX-packed executables. |
Solution
Upgrade This issue was corrected in ClamAV 0.87. |
Do not access UPX-packed executables from untrusted sources |
