Description
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 .
