ClamAV 0.102.2 security patch released
Today, we're publishing 0.102.2. Navigate to ClamAV's downloads page to
download the release materials.
0.102.2
ClamAV 0.102.2 is a security patch release to address the following issues.
o CVE-2020-3123: A denial-of-service (DoS) condition may occur when using the
optional credit card data-loss-prevention (DLP) feature. Improper bounds
checking of an unsigned variable resulted in an out-of-bounds read, which
causes a crash.
o Significantly improved the scan speed of PDF files on Windows.
o Re-applied a fix to alleviate file access issues when scanning RAR files in
downstream projects that use libclamav where the scanning engine is
operating in a low-privilege process. This bug was originally fixed in
0.101.2 and the fix was mistakenly omitted from 0.102.0.
o Fixed an issue where freshclam failed to update if the database version
downloaded is one version older than advertised. This situation may occur
after a new database version is published. The issue affected users
downloading the whole CVD database file.
o Changed the default freshclam ReceiveTimeout setting to 0 (infinite). The
ReceiveTimeout had caused needless database update failures for users with
slower internet connections.
o Correctly display the number of kilobytes (KiB) in progress bar and reduced
the size of the progress bar to accommodate 80-character width terminals.
o Fixed an issue where running freshclam manually causes a daemonized
freshclam process to fail when it updates because the manual instance
deletes the temporary download directory. The freshclam temporary files
will now download to a unique directory created at the time of an update
instead of using a hardcoded directory created/destroyed at the program
start/exit.
o Fix for freshclam's OnOutdatedExecute config option.
o Fixes a memory leak in the error condition handling for the email parser.
o Improved bound checking and error handling in ARJ archive parser.
o Improved error handling in PDF parser.
o Fix for memory leak in byte-compare signature handler.
o Updates to the unit test suite to support libcheck 0.13.
o Updates to support autoconf 2.69 and automake 1.15.
Special thanks to the following people for code contributions and bug reports:
o Antoine Deschenes
o Eric Lindblad
o Gianluigi Tiesi
o Tuomo Soini
