CVE-2019-1787

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.

(CVE-2019-1787)

A vulnerability in the Object Linking & Embedding (OLE2) file 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 condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to a lack of proper input and validation checking mechanisms for OLE2 files sent an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed OLE2 files to the device running an affected version ClamAV Software. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause an out-of-bounds write condition, resulting in a crash that could result in a denial of service condition on an affected device. (CVE-2019-1788)

An out-of-bounds heap read condition when scanning PE files. (CVE-2019-1789)

This update for clamav to version 0.100.3 fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed (bsc#1130721):

• CVE-2019-1787: Fixed an out-of-bounds heap read condition which may occur when scanning PDF documents.
• CVE-2019-1789: Fixed an out-of-bounds heap read condition which may occur when scanning PE files (i.e. Windows EXE and DLL files).
• CVE-2019-1788: Fixed an out-of-bounds heap write condition which may occur when scanning OLE2 files such as Microsoft Office 97-2003 documents.

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

This update for clamav fixes the following issues:

clamav was updated to the new major release 0.103.0. (jsc#ECO-3010,bsc#1118459)

Note that libclamav was changed incompatible, if you have a 3rd party application that uses libclamav, it needs to be rebuilt.

Update to 0.103.0

• clamd can now reload the signature database without blocking scanning. This multi-threaded database reload improvement was made possible thanks to a community effort.

  • Non-blocking database reloads are now the default behavior. Some systems that are more constrained on RAM may need to disable non-blocking reloads as it will temporarily consume two times as much memory. We added a new clamd config option ConcurrentDatabaseReload, which may be set to no.
  • Fix clamav-milter.service (requires clamd.service to run)

Update to 0.102.4

• CVE-2020-3350: Fix a vulnerability wherein a malicious user could replace a scan target's directory with a symlink to another path to trick clamscan, clamdscan, or clamonacc into removing or moving a different file (eg. a critical system file). The issue would affect users that use the --move or --remove options for clamscan, clamdscan, and clamonacc.
• CVE-2020-3327: Fix a vulnerability in the ARJ archive parsing module in ClamAV 0.102.3 that could cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition. Improper bounds checking results in an out-of-bounds read which could cause a crash. The previous fix for this CVE in 0.102.3 was incomplete. This fix correctly resolves the issue.
• CVE-2020-3481: Fix a vulnerability in the EGG archive module in ClamAV 0.102.0 - 0.102.3 could cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition. Improper error handling may result in a crash due to a NULL pointer dereference. This vulnerability is mitigated for those using the official ClamAV signature databases because the file type signatures in daily.cvd will not enable the EGG archive parser in versions affected by the vulnerability.

Update to 0.102.3

• CVE-2020-3327: Fix a vulnerability in the ARJ archive parsing module in ClamAV 0.102.2 that could cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition. Improper bounds checking of an unsigned variable results in an out-of-bounds read which causes a crash.
• CVE-2020-3341: Fix a vulnerability in the PDF parsing module in ClamAV 0.101 - 0.102.2 that could cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition. Improper size checking of a buffer used to initialize AES decryption routines results in an out-of-bounds read which may cause a crash.
• Fix 'Attempt to allocate 0 bytes' error when parsing some PDF documents.
• Fix a couple of minor memory leaks.
• Updated libclamunrar to UnRAR 5.9.2.

Update to 0.102.2:

• CVE-2020-3123: A denial-of-service (DoS) condition may occur when using the optional credit card data-loss-prevention (DLP) feature. Improper bounds checking of an unsigned variable resulted in an out-of-bounds read, which causes a crash.
• Significantly improved the scan speed of PDF files on Windows.
• Re-applied a fix to alleviate file access issues when scanning RAR files in downstream projects that use libclamav where the scanning engine is operating in a low-privilege process. This bug was originally fixed in 0.101.2 and the fix was mistakenly omitted from 0.102.0.
• Fixed an issue where freshclam failed to update if the database version downloaded is one version older than advertised. This situation may occur after a new database version is published. The issue affected users downloading the whole CVD database file.
• Changed the default freshclam ReceiveTimeout setting to 0 (infinite). The ReceiveTimeout had caused needless database update failures for users with slower internet connections.
• Correctly display the number of kilobytes (KiB) in progress bar and reduced the size of the progress bar to accommodate…
