Summary
clamav vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing certain mail messages. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-12374, CVE-2017-12375, CVE-2017-12379, CVE-2017-12380)

It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing certain PDF files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-12376)

It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing certain mew packet files. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-12377)

It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing certain TAR files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-12378)

In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the ClamAV AppArmor profile.
