TITLE:
ClamAV Upack Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29000

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29000/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Clam AntiVirus (clamav) 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/2538/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in ClamAV, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"cli_scanpe()" function in libclamav/pe.c. This can be exploited to
cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted "Upack"
executable.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 0.92 and 0.92.1. Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
An updated version should be available shortly. The PE scanning
module has been remotely switched off after 10/03/2008.

Do not scan untrusted PE files.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Alin Rad Pop, Secunia Research.
