EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

A vulnerability in the PE file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition, or possibly other expanded impacts, resulting from memory corruption on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in PE files during scanning, which may result in an out-of-bounds buffer write. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted file that contains PE 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.

  • WID-SEC-W-2026-2173ClamAV: Mehrere SchwachstellenDeutsch2026-07-01csaf · cert_bundDE

    Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in ClamAV ausnutzen, um einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen oder vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen.

  • cisco-sa-clamav-88cFYyxRClamAV Vulnerabilities Affecting Cisco Products: July 20262026-07-01csaf · cisco_csafUS

    Multiple vulnerabilities in ClamAV could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition, interrupting scanning operations. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details ["#details"] section of this advisory. For additional information on these vulnerabilities in ClamAV, see the ClamAV blog ["https://blog.clamav.net/2026/07/clamav-153-and-145-security-patch.html"]. Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities. Notes: The Security Impact Rating (SIR) for these vulnerabilities is High for Windows-based platforms only because those platforms run the ClamAV scanning process in a privileged security context. The platforms that are highly impacted include Cisco Secure Endpoint Connector for Windows. The SIR for these vulnerabilities is Medium on other platforms, including Linux and Mac platforms, because those platforms run the ClamAV scanning process in a lower-privileged security context. The affected platforms include Secure Endpoint Connector for Linux and Mac. Cisco Secure Endpoint Private Cloud itself is not impacted by these vulnerabilities. However, the Cisco Secure Endpoint Connector software that is distributed from the device is impacted.
