{"id":"CVE-2017-12378","details":"ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms of .tar (Tape Archive) files sent to an affected device. A successful exploit could cause a checksum buffer over-read condition when ClamAV scans the malicious .tar file, potentially allowing the attacker to cause a DoS condition on the affected device.","modified":"2026-04-16T01:41:15.510879980Z","published":"2018-01-26T20:29:00.550Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2018:0254-1","SUSE-SU-2018:0255-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10685-1"],"database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:o:debian:debian_linux:7.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","source":"CPE_FIELD","extracted_events":[{"last_affected":"7.0"}]}]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://usn.ubuntu.com/3550-1/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://usn.ubuntu.com/3550-2/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://blog.clamav.net/2018/01/clamav-0993-has-been-released.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2018/01/msg00035.html"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11946"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/cisco-talos/clamav","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"5ceae552829ee65c9ecff8ff303b1f2ddfd11576"}],"database_specific":{"source":"CPE_FIELD","cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:clamav:clamav:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"0.99.2"}]}}],"versions":["clamav-0.96","clamav-0.96.2","clamav-0.96.3","clamav-0.96.4","clamav-0.96.5","clamav-0.96rc1","clamav-0.96rc2","clamav-0.97","clamav-0.97rc","clamav-0.99.2","merge-llvm-97877","r5076"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2017-12378.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
