Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Clam AntiVirus. One has an unknown impact, while others can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) An unspecified file descriptor leak error exists within libclamav/chmunpack.c.
2) A signedness error exists within the "cab_unstore()" function in libclamav/cab.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack based buffer overflow via a specially crafted ".cab" file, and may allow execution of arbitrary code or crashing of the clamd process.
3) A file descriptor leak error when handling PDF files with empty objects exists within libclamav/pdf.c. This can potentially be exploited to cause a DoS by e.g. tricking an automated system into processing specially crafted PDF files.
Solution:
Update to version 0.90.2.
