Summary
ClamAV AutoIt Module Denial of Service Vulnerability
Notes
Summary
A vulnerability in the AutoIt module of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to a logic error in the memory management of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted AutoIt file to be scanned by ClamAV on the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
For a description of this vulnerability, see the ClamAV blog ["https://blog.clamav.net/2023/07/2023-08-16-releases.html"].
Affected Products
The Vulnerable Products ["#vp"]section includes Cisco bug IDs for each affected product. The bugs are accessible through the Cisco Bug Search Tool ["https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/BUGID"] and contain additional platform-specific information and fixed software releases.

Details
Details about the potential effects of the vulnerability are as follows:
Impacts of ClamAV DoS Vulnerability on Windows Platforms
The Security Impact Rating (SIR) for this vulnerability is High only for Windows-based platforms because those platforms run the ClamAV scanning process as a service that could fail and restart, delaying scanning operations. See the Assessing Security Risk ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#asr"] section of the Cisco Security Vulnerability Policy for information about vulnerability scoring and SIRs.
A vulnerability in the AutoIT module of ClamAV could allow an attacker to cause the application to crash, resulting in a DoS condition on an affected device. Cisco Secure Endpoint Connector for Windows, which is distributed from Cisco Secure Endpoint Private Cloud, is affected by this vulnerability.
Bug ID(s): CSCwf30972 ["https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCwf30972"] and CSCwf30973 ["https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCwf30973"]
Security Impact Rating (SIR): High
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Workarounds
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
For information about fixed software releases ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#fixes"], consult the Cisco bugs identified in the Vulnerable Products ["#vp"] section of this advisory.
When considering software upgrades ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#fixes"], customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories ["https://www.cisco.com/go/psirt"] page, to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for their contracted maintenance providers.
Fixed Releases
Customers are advised to upgrade to an appropriate fixed software release ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#fixes"] as indicated in the following tables:
