CVE-2007-0897

HIGH

ClamAV < 0.90 - Denial of Service via CAB Archive Header Parsing

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Clam AntiVirus ClamAV before 0.90 does not close open file descriptors under certain conditions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption and failed scans) via CAB archives with a cabinet header record length of zero, which causes a function to return without closing a file descriptor.
