Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Clam AntiVirus versions prior to 0.87.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an infinite loop and memory exhaustion. This is achieved by providing a crafted value in a CAB file, which causes the software to repeatedly scan the same block.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.87.1, update to version 0.87.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the processing of CAB files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
