A vulnerability in the PDF file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory corruption on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in PDF files during scanning, which may result in an out-of-bounds buffer read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted PDF file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software.

Multiple vulnerabilities in ClamAV could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition, interrupting scanning operations. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory.For additional information on these vulnerabilities in ClamAV, see the ClamAV blog.Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities in affected Cisco platforms. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.Notes:The Security Impact Rating (SIR) for these vulnerabilities is High for Windows-based platforms only because those platforms run the ClamAV scanning process in a privileged security context. The platforms that are highly impacted include Cisco Secure Endpoint Connector for Windows.The SIR for these vulnerabilities is Medium on other platforms, including Linux and Mac platforms, because those platforms run the ClamAV scanning process in a lower-privileged security context. The affected platforms include Secure Endpoint Connector for Linux and Mac.Cisco Secure Endpoint Private Cloud itself is not impacted by these vulnerabilities. However, the Cisco Secure Endpoint Connector software that is distributed from the device is impacted.This advisory is available at the following link:https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-clamav-WuuvVd26

A vulnerability in the ClamD service module of Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) versions 1.4.0, 1.3.2 and prior versions, all 1.2.x versions, 1.0.6 and prior versions, all 0.105.x versions, all 0.104.x versions, and 0.103.11 and all prior versions could allow an authenticated, local attacker to corrupt critical system files. The vulnerability is due to allowing the ClamD process to write to its log file while privileged without checking if the logfile has been replaced with a symbolic link. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability if they replace the ClamD log file with a symlink to a critical system file and then find a way to restart the ClamD process. An exploit could allow the attacker to corrupt a critical system file by appending ClamD log messages after restart.

Race Condition
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

A vulnerability in the endpoint software of Cisco AMP for Endpoints and Clam AntiVirus could allow an authenticated, local attacker to cause the running software to delete arbitrary files on the system. The vulnerability is due to a race condition that could occur when scanning malicious files. An attacker with local shell access could exploit this vulnerability by executing a script that could trigger the race condition. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files on the system that the attacker would not normally have privileges to delete, producing system instability or causing the endpoint software to stop working. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
