A remote format string vulnerability exists in Clam Anti-Virus. The logging routines in shared/output.c fail to correctly validate user-supplied input. With a specially crafted transaction including format strings, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution, resulting in a loss of integrity.

Classification

Location: Local / Remote, Context Dependent
Attack Type: Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Solution: Upgrade
Exploit: Exploit Unknown
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified, Vendor Verified

Technical

Subsequent evaluation by Ulf Harnhammar suggests the format string instances are not exploitable.

Solution

Upgrade to version 0.88.1 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
