Synopsis
========
ClamAV contains two vulnerabilities that could lead to Denial of
Service and evasion of virus scanning.
Background
==========
ClamAV is an antivirus toolkit. It includes a multi-threaded daemon and
a command line scanner.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-antivirus/clamav <= 0.80 >= 0.81
Description
===========
ClamAV fails to properly scan ZIP files with special headers
(CAN-2005-0133) and base64 encoded images in URLs.
Impact
======
By sending a base64 encoded image file in a URL an attacker could evade
virus scanning. By sending a specially-crafted ZIP file an attacker
could cause a Denial of Service by crashing the clamd daemon.
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-0.81"
