Technical Description

Mandriva has released updated packages to address a vulnerability identified in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV). This flaw is due to a heap overflow error in "libclamav/upx.c" when processing malformed UPX-packed executables, which could be exploited by an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands or crash an affected application by sending an e-mail containing a specially crafted UPX file to a vulnerable system. For additional information, see : FrSIRT/ADV-2006-0116
