    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-20128 CVE-2025-20260
    Debian Bug     : 1093880 1108046

    A couple of vulnerabilities have been fixed in ClamAV, an anti-virus utility
    for Unix.

    CVE-2025-20128

        The Object Linking and Embedding 2 (OLE2) decryption routine of ClamAV
        could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service
        (DoS) condition on an affected device.

    CVE-2025-20260

        The PDF scanning processes of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote
        attacker to cause a buffer overflow condition, cause a denial of service (DoS)
        condition, or execute arbitrary code on an affected device.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    1.0.9+dfsg-1~deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.

    For the detailed security status of clamav please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
