CVE-2026-20217

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

• Fixed an integer overflow in PE rebuild size calculations that could be reached through a malformed Aspack-packed PE file and lead to a heap buffer overflow write.
• Fixed an InstallShield archive extraction limit bypass that could write far more temporary data than intended and exhaust temporary storage.
• Fixed an FSG unpacker loop underflow that could write past the section array while scanning a malformed PE file.
• Fixed ALZ parser size handling bugs that could cause malformed ALZ archives to panic, abort the scanner, or skip expected scan-limit handling.
• Fixed a 7z parser substream count overflow that could under-allocate parser metadata arrays and write past them while reading a malformed archive.
• Fixed 32-bit DMG parser size checks that could let a short mish stripe table pass validation and crash 32-bit scanner builds.
• Hardened clamscan, clamdscan, and clamonacc quarantine actions against time-of-check/time-of-use races that could redirect copied, moved, or removed files under unsafe quarantine directory configurations.
• Upgraded the Rust tar dependency to resolve the RUSTSEC-2026-0067 and RUSTSEC-2026-0068 advisories, and upgraded the Rust openssl dependency to resolve CVE-2026-41676.
