clamav vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled certain PDF files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-20505)

It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled logfile privileges. A local attacker could use this issue to cause ClamAV to overwrite arbitrary files, possibly leading to privilege escalation. (CVE-2024-20506)
