    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1616-2 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Devin Carraway
    July 26, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : clamav
    Vulnerability : denial of service
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-2713
    Debian Bug : 490925

    This update corrects a packaging and build error in the packages
    released in DSA-1616-1. Those packages, while functional, did not
    actually apply the fix intended. This update restores the fix
    to the package build; no other changes are introduced. For
    reference, the text of the original advisory follows.

    Damian Put discovered a vulnerability in the ClamAV anti-virus
    toolkit's parsing of Petite-packed Win32 executables. The weakness
    leads to an invalid memory access, and could enable an attacker to
    crash clamav by supplying a maliciously crafted Petite-compressed
    binary for scanning. In some configurations, such as when clamav
    is used in combination with mail servers, this could cause a system
    to "fail open," facilitating a follow-on viral attack.

    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies this
    weakness as CVE-2008-2713.

    For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.90.1dfsg-3.1+etch14. For the unstable distribution (sid),
    the problem has been fixed in version 0.93.1.dfsg-1.1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
