+ <title>ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>

+ Vulnerabilities have been discovered in ClamAV allowing remote execution of
+ arbitrary code and Denial of Service attacks.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX,
+ designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.91.2"</code>
+ </resolution>
