Vulnerability Assessment Details

MDKSA-2006:184: clamav

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Check for the version of the clamav package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:184 (clamav).

An integer overflow in previous versions of ClamAV could permit a remote
attacker to cause a Denial of Service (scanning service crash) and
execute arbitrary code via a Portable Executable (PE) file
(CVE-2006-4182).
Another vulnerability could permit a remote attacker to cause a DoS via
a crafted compressed HTML (CHM) file that causes ClamAV to read an
invalid memory location (CVE-2006-5295).
These issues are corrected in ClamAV 0.88.5 which is provided with this
update.
