"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-2116 advisory.

    A vulnerability in the PESpin file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker
    to cause a DoS condition or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory corruption on an
    affected device.

    This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in PESpin files during scanning, which
    may result in an integer overflow. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted
    file that contains PESpin content to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit
    could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition
    on the affected software. (CVE-2026-20339)

    A vulnerability in the GPT file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
    cause a DoS condition or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory corruption on an affected
    device.

    This vulnerability is due to improper handling of an endian conversion operation, which may result in an
    out-of-bounds buffer write. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted GPT file
    to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the
    ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software.
    (CVE-2026-20345)

    A vulnerability in the PDF file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
    cause a DoS condition or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory corruption on an affected
    device.

    This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in PDF files during scanning, which may
    result in an out-of-bounds buffer read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a
    crafted PDF file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the
    attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected
    software. (CVE-2026-20346)

    A vulnerability in the Mach-O file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker
    to cause a DoS condition or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory corruption on an
    affected device.

    This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in Mach-O files during scanning, which
    may result in an out-of-bounds buffer read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a
    crafted Mach-O file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the
    attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected
    software. (CVE-2026-20347)

    A vulnerability in the XAR file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
    cause a DoS condition or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory corruption on an affected
    device.

    This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in XAR files during scanning. An
    attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted file that contains XAR content to be
    scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV
    scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software. (CVE-2026-20348)
