CVE-2019-1786

A vulnerability in the Portable Document Format (PDF) scanning
functionality of Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) Software versions 0.101.1 and
0.101.0 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial
of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due
to a lack of proper data handling mechanisms within the device buffer while
indexing remaining file data on an affected device. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted PDF files to an affected
device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an
out-of-bounds read condition, resulting in a crash that could result in a
denial of service condition on an affected device.
