CVE-2026-20348
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A vulnerability in the XAR file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory corruption on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in XAR files during scanning. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted file that contains XAR 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.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad en el analizador del formato de archivo XAR de ClamAV podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado causar una condición de DoS o posiblemente otros impactos expandidos como resultado de corrupción de memoria en un dispositivo afectado.\n\nEsta vulnerabilidad se debe a comprobaciones de límites inadecuadas para el contenido en archivos XAR durante el escaneo. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al enviar un archivo manipulado que contiene contenido XAR para ser escaneado por ClamAV en un dispositivo afectado. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante causar la terminación del proceso de escaneo de ClamAV, lo que resultaría en una condición de DoS en el software afectado."
