Descriptions
ClamAV before 0.98.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted xz archive file.
ClamAV en versiones anteriores a 0.98.7 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) a través de un fichero del archivo xz.
It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled certain malformed files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the ClamAV AppArmor profile.
