Description |
ClamAV contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when the ENSURE_BITS() function in the libclamav/mspack/mszipd.c fails to properly validate user supplied input. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted CAB file with a cffile_FolderOffset set to 0xff to cause the program to enter an infinite loop, resulting in a loss of availability of the anti-virus system.
