SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39329

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39329/

DESCRIPTION:
A weakness and a vulnerability have been reported in ClamAV, which
can be exploited by malicious people to bypass the scanning
functionality or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An error when processing archives can be exploited to bypass the
anti-virus scanning functionality via specially crafted CAB files.

2) An error exists within the "qtm_decompress()" function in
libclamav/mspack.c. This can be exploited to cause a memory
corruption when a specially crafted Quantum-compressed file is
scanned.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

The weakness and the vulnerability are reported in versions prior to
0.96.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.96.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) ReversingLabs Corp, reported via CERT-FI
2) Reported by Török Edwin in a ClamAV bug report.

CHANGELOG:
2010-04-12: Added CVE reference.
