Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV), which could be exploited by attackers or malware to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
The first issue is caused by NULL-pointer dereference errors in the "cli_scanrtf()" [libclamav/rtf.c] and "cli_html_normalise()" [libclamav/htmlnorm.c] when processing malformed RTF or HTML files, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected application, creating a denial of service condition.
The second vulnerability is caused by an error in the processing of recipient addresses read from email messages, which could be exploited by attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of clamav-milter when a specially crafted recipient address is passed to "popen()".
