Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:125 (clamav)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to clamav
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:125.

Neel Mehta and Alex Wheeler discovered integer overflow vulnerabilites
in Clam AntiVirus when handling the TNEF, CHM, and FSG file formats.
By sending a specially-crafted file, an attacker could execute
arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Clam AV.

This update provides clamav 0.86.2 which is not vulnerable to these
issues.

Affected versions: 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
