Background ========== Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-antivirus/clamav < 0.91.2 >= 0.91.2 Description =========== Nikolaos Rangos discovered a vulnerability in ClamAV which exists because the recipient address extracted from email messages is not properly sanitized before being used in a call to "popen()" when executing sendmail (CVE-2007-4560). Also, NULL-pointer dereference errors exist within the "cli_scanrtf()" function in libclamav/rtf.c and Stefanos Stamatis discovered a NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability within the "cli_html_normalise()" function in libclamav/htmlnorm.c (CVE-2007-4510). Impact ====== The unsanitized recipient address can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the clamav-milter process by sending an email with a specially crafted recipient address to the affected system. Also, the NULL-pointer dereference errors can be exploited to crash ClamAV. Successful exploitation of the latter vulnerability requires that clamav-milter is started with the "black hole" mode activated, which is not enabled by default. 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-0.91.2" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-4510 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4510 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-4560 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4560 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200709-14.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
