Descriptions

A vulnerability in the Portable Document Format (PDF) scanning functionality of Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) Software versions 0.101.1 and prior could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to a lack of proper data handling mechanisms within the device buffer while indexing remaining file data on an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted PDF files to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a heap buffer out-of-bounds read condition, resulting in a crash that could result in a denial of service condition on an affected device.

Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad de escaneo del PDF (Portable Document Format) en las versiones de software 0.101.1 y anteriores de Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV), podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado causar una condición de denegación de servicio (DoS) en un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad se debe a la falta de mecanismos adecuados para el manejo de datos dentro del búfer del dispositivo, mientras se indexan los datos de archivo restantes en un dispositivo afectado. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando archivos PDF creados a un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación exitosa podría permitir al atacante causar una condición de lectura de búfer fuera de límites, resultando en un cierre inesperado que podría causar una condición de denegación de servicio en un dispositivo afectado.
