CVE-2024-20290

A vulnerability in the OLE2 file format parser of ClamAV could allow an
unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS)
condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to an incorrect
check for end-of-string values during scanning, which may result in a heap
buffer over-read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
submitting a crafted file containing OLE2 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 and consuming available system
resources. For a description of this vulnerability, see the ClamAV blog .
