"Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose
|
|
of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment
|
|
scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
|
|
daemon, a command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via
|
|
Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with
|
|
the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software.
|
|
Most importantly, the virus database is kept up to date."

<p>
|
|
Certain types of RAR archives, including those created by variants of
|
|
the W32.Beagle.A@mm worm, may cause clamav to crash when it attempts to
|
|
process them.
|
|
</p>

|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
This vulnerability causes a Denial of Service in the clamav process.
|
|
Depending on configuration, this may cause dependent services such as
|
|
mail to fail as well.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are
|
|
advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
ClamAV users should upgrade to version 0.68.1 or later:
|
|
</p>
|

<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.68.1"
|
|
# emerge ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.68.1"</code>
