High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) Software versions 0.101.1 and prior
Description
A vulnerability in the Object Linking & Embedding (OLE2) file scanning functionality could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition on an affected device. The issue is due to a lack of proper input and validation checking mechanisms for OLE2 files sent to an affected device. An attacker could exploit this by sending malformed OLE2 files, potentially causing an out-of-bounds write condition and resulting in a crash that leads to a denial of service condition.
Recommendations
For ClamAV Software versions 0.101.1 and prior, consider updating to a version that addresses the OLE2 file scanning vulnerability to prevent potential denial of service conditions.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
