+ <title>ClamAV VirusEvent parameter vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ With a specific configuration (using %f in the VirusEvent parameter), Clam
+ AntiVirus is vulnerable to an attack allowing execution of arbitrary
+ commands.

+ </p>
+ <p>
+ "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."

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The VirusEvent parameter in the clamav.conf configuration file allows
+ to specify a system command to run whenever a virus is found. This
+ system command can make use of the "%f" parameter which is replaced by
+ the name of the file infected. The name of the file scanned is under
+ control of the attacker and is not sufficiently checked. Version 0.70
+ of clamav disables the use of the "%f" parameter.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ Sending a virus with a malicious file name can result in execution of
+ arbirary system commands with the rights of the antivirus process.
+ Since clamav is often associated to mail servers for email scanning,
+ this attack can be used remotely.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ You should not use the "%f" parameter in your VirusEvent configuration.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All users of Clam AntiVirus should upgrade to the latest stable
+ version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.70"
+ # emerge "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.70"</code>
+ </resolution>
