{"id":"CVE-2024-20290","details":"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.\r\n\r 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.\r\n\r For a description of this vulnerability, see the ClamAV blog .","modified":"2026-04-16T04:31:08.172884097Z","published":"2024-02-07T17:15:10.517Z","related":["CGA-363r-g642-x7fc","USN-6636-1"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-clamav-hDffu6t"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/6MUDUPAHAAV6FPB2C2QIQCFJ4SHYBOTY/"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/5FXZYVDNV66RNMNVJOHAJAYRZV4U64CQ/"}],"affected":[{"database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"7.5.17"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"8.0.1.21160"},{"fixed":"8.2.3.30119"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.8.0"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"38"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"39"}]}],"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-20290.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
