Description |
The ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a
vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The
vulnerability is due to a lack of input validation checking mechanisms
during certain mail parsing functions (the rfc2047 function in
mbox.c). An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by sending a crafted email to the affected device. This
action could cause a buffer overflow condition when ClamAV scans the
malicious email, allowing the attacker to potentially cause a DoS
condition on an affected device.
