Overview:

Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX,
designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways. It provides
a number of utilities including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
daemon, a command line scanner and advanced tool for automatic database
updates. The core of the package is an anti-virus engine available in
a form of shared library.

Description:

A remotely exploitable vulnerability has been found in clamav-milter
when used with sendmail. In detail, the following flaw was determined:

- Arbitrary code execution due to insecure call to popen()

Impact:

This vulnerability can lead to remote code execution with root privileges.
Leading to a complete compromise of the vulnerable system.
An attacker can inject shell commands into the recipient field of
sendmail,
if clamav-milter was started with the black hole mode activated.
The vulnerability is present in at least clamav version 0.91.1, prior
versions may also be affected.

Solution:
A new stable release (clamav 0.91.2) is available at the clamav website
which
fixes the vulnerability.
