ALAS-2024-615


Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2024-615
Advisory Release Date: 2024-05-09 17:16 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2024-05-15 19:36 Pacific
Severity: Medium

Issue Overview:

A vulnerability in the OLE2 file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.

This vulnerability is due to an incorrect check for end-of-string values during scanning, which may result in a heap buffer over-read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted file containing OLE2 content 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 and consuming available system resources.

For a description of this vulnerability, see the ClamAV blog . (CVE-2024-20290)
