Join us as we welcome ClamAV 0.99.3 to the family!
As previously mentioned, if you downloaded the beta version of ClamAV 0.99.3, you will need to completely uninstall it and do a fresh install with the production version of 0.99.3 as there are significant code differences.
Also, please ensure that you read our blog post on ClamAV Version Number Adjustments to ensure that you are staying current with our future plans for releases.
This release is a security release and is recommended for all ClamAV users. Please see details below:
CVE-2017-12374
1. ClamAV UAF (use-after-free) Vulnerabilities
The 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 a lack of input validation checking mechanisms during certain mail parsing operations. If successfully exploited, the ClamAV software could allow a variable pointing to the mail body which could cause a used after being free (use-after-free) instance which may lead to a disruption of services on an affected device to include a denial of service condition.

CVE-2017-12375
2. ClamAV Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
The 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 a lack of input validation checking mechanisms during certain mail parsing functions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email to the affected device. This action could cause a buffer overflow condition when ClamAV scans the malicious email, allowing the attacker to potentially cause a DoS condition on an affected device.

CVE-2017-12376
3. ClamAV Buffer Overflow in handle_pdfname Vulnerability
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 or potentially execute arbitrary code on an affected device.
The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms when handling Portable Document Format (.pdf) files sent to an affected device. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted .pdf file to an affected device. This action could cause a buffer overflow when ClamAV scans the malicious file, allowing the attacker to cause a DoS condition or potentially execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2017-12377
4. ClamAV Mew Packet Heap Overflow Vulnerability
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 or potentially execute arbitrary code on an affected device.
The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms in mew packet files sent to an affected device. A successful exploit could cause a heap overflow condition when ClamAV scans the malicious file, allowing the attacker to cause a DoS condition or potentially execute arbitrary code on the affected device.

CVE-2017-12378
5. ClamAV Buffer Over Read Vulnerability
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 buffer over-read condition when ClamAV scans the malicious .tar file, potentially allowing the attacker to cause a DoS condition on the affected device.

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N /A:L
CVE-2017-12379
6. ClamAV Buffer Overflow in messageAddArgument Vulnerability
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 or potentially execute arbitrary code on an affected device.
The vulnerability is due to improper input validation checking mechanisms in the message parsing function on an affected system. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email to the affected device. This action could cause a buffer overflow condition when ClamAV scans the malicious email, allowing the attacker to potentially cause a DoS condition or execute arbitrary code on an affected device.

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L /A:L
CVE-2017-12380
7. ClamAV Null Dereference Vulnerability
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 during certain mail parsing functions of the ClamAV software. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email to the affected device. An exploit could trigger a NULL pointer dereference condition when ClamAV scans the malicious email, which may result in a DoS condition.

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Also included are 2 minor fixes to properly detect openssl install locations on FreeBSD 11, and prevent false warnings about zlib 1.2.1# version numbers.
