High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Clam AntiVirus ClamAV versions prior to 0.90

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in file descriptor consumption and failed scans. This occurs when processing CAB archives with a cabinet header record length of zero, which causes a function to return without closing a file descriptor.

Recommendations: For Clam AntiVirus ClamAV versions prior to 0.90, update to version 0.90 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the processing of CAB archives to minimize the risk of exploitation.
