Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-082

Posted May 21, 2010

Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-082 - ClamAV before 0.96 does not properly handle the (1) CAB and (2) 7z file formats, which allows remote attackers to bypass virus detection via a crafted archive that is compatible with standard archive utilities. The qtm_decompress function in libclamav/mspack.c in ClamAV before 0.96 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted CAB archive that uses the Quantum (aka.Q) compression format. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. This update provides clamav 0.96, which is not vulnerable to these issues. Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program.
