Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202310-1 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in ClamAV, the worst of which could result in remote code execution. Versions greater than or equal to 0.103.7 are affected.
An issue in Zimbra Collaboration ZCS v.8.8.15 and v.9.0 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via the sfdc_preauth.jsp component.
A vulnerability in the regex module used by the signature database load module of Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) versions 0.104.0 through 0.104.2 and LTS version 0.103.5 and prior versions could allow an authenticated, local attacker to crash ClamAV at database load time, and possibly gain code execution. The vulnerability is due to improper bounds checking that may result in a multi-byte heap buffer overwflow write. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by placing a crafted CDB ClamAV signature database file in the ClamAV database directory. An exploit could allow the attacker to run code as the clamav user.
