Kolab Security Issue 23 20081202
================================

Package:              Kolab Server, ClamAV
Vulnerability:        various
Kolab Specific:       no
Dependent Packages:   none


Summary
~~~~~~~

Moritz Jodeit reports that ClamAV up to version 0.94 contains an
off-by-one heap overflow vulnerability in the code responsible for
parsing VBA project files. Successful exploitation could allow an
attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the `clamd'
process by sending an email with a prepared attachment.

Ilja Van Sprundel reported a denial-of-service vulnerability and an
unconfirmed possibility to run arbitrary code in ClamAV up to version
0.94.1 by sending malformed JPEG files.

A binary RPM for Kolab Server 2.2.0 (ix86 Debian GNU/Linux Etch)
is available from:
security-updates/20081202/clamav-0.94.2-20081202_kolab.ix86-debian4.0-kolab.rpm

All other server versions: Please build from the src.rpm.


The mirrors are listed on http://kolab.org/mirrors.html
While the mirrors are catching up, you can also get the package via rsync:
# rsync -tvP rsync://rsync.kolab.org/kolab/server/security-updates/20081202/clamav-0.94.2-20081202.src.rpm .
# rsync -tvP rsync://rsync.kolab.org/kolab/server/security-updates/20081202/clamav-0.94.2-20081202.ix86-debian3.1-kolab.rpm .
# rsync -tvP rsync://rsync.kolab.org/kolab/server/security-updates/20081202/clamav-0.94.2-20081202.ix86-debian4.0-kolab.rpm .

MD5 sums:
bd4aaba0b5dc0c4c7349fd3418326534  clamav-0.94.2-20081202.src.rpm
4e1efcb88af5ab6538560be9ee618ca0  clamav-0.94.2-20081202.ix86-debian3.1-kolab.rpm

The package can be installed on your Kolab Server with

# /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild clamav-0.94.2-20081202.src.rpm
# /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm \
  -Uvh /kolab/RPM/PKG/clamav-0.94.2-20081202.<ARCH>-<OS>-kolab.rpm
# rm /kolab/etc/clamav/*.rpmsave
# /kolab/bin/openpkg rc clamav stop
# /kolab/bin/openpkg rc clamav start
# su - kolab-r
$ freshclam
$ rm -r /kolab/share/clamav/*.inc

For Kolab Server 2.0.4 you have to copy the new /kolab/etc/clamav/clamd.conf
to /kolab/etc/kolab/templates/clamd.conf.template so it will not be
overwritten by kolabconf. Do NOT copy this file with Kolab Server 2.1 or 2.2!
