ClamAV: Remote execution of arbitrary code Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200601-07 (ClamAV: Remote execution of arbitrary code) Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) reported a heap buffer overflow vulnerability. The vulnerability is due to an incorrect boundary check of the user-supplied data prior to copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. The flaw occurs when the application attempts to handle compressed UPX files. Impact For example by sending a maliciously crafted UPX file into a mail server that is integrated with ClamAV, a remote attacker's supplied code could be executed with escalated rights. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
