Summary
ClamAV OLE2 File Format Parsing Denial of Service Vulnerability
Notes
Summary
A vulnerability in the OLE2 file format parser 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 an incorrect check for end-of-string values during scanning, which may result in a heap buffer over-read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted file containing OLE2 content to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software and consuming available system resources.
For a description of this vulnerability, see the ClamAV blog ["https://blog.clamav.net/2023/11/clamav-130-122-105-released.html"].
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Details
Impacts of ClamAV DoS Vulnerability on Windows Platforms
This vulnerability, which has a High Security Impact Rating (SIR), affects only Windows-based platforms because those platforms run the ClamAV scanning process as a service that could enter a loop condition, which would consume available CPU resources and delay or prevent further 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.
This vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause Cisco Secure Endpoint Connector for Windows to enter a loop and stop responding, resulting in a DoS condition. Cisco Secure Endpoint Connector for Windows, which is distributed from Cisco Secure Endpoint Private Cloud, is affected by this vulnerability.
Bug ID(s): CSCwh88483 ["https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCwh88483"]
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) or their contracted maintenance providers.
