Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:138 (clamav)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to clamav
announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:138.

Damian Put discovered a boundary error in the UPX extraction module in
ClamAV which is used to unpack PE Windows executables. This could be
abused to cause a Denial of Service issue and potentially allow for
the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
running clamscan or clamd.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2006.0, Corporate 3.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
