Critical CVE found in ClamAV

Resolved
0 votes
It looks like ClamAV have notified users of two new vulnerabilities in ClamAV. CVE-2023-20032 has been rated as critical with a score of 9.8/10. CVE-2023-20052 is not so important and is rated as medium.

If Clearos is no longer getting security updates what is the best course of action? Stop scanning emails and files for viruses at all and remove ClamAV or keep going with ClamAV knowing that one hostile file attached to an email or downloaded to your system and scanned can compromise your system. It is not a good choice either way.

    If you install from EPEL I am 99.99999999999999999999999999999% sure you'll break things. It will probably install OK but bits of ClearOS will break. That is why a separate version is (was!) maintained by ClearOS.

    Is it maybe possible to make a package from source ?

    or just install the .rpm from epel?

    That is unfortunate.
    BTW, the update to 0.103.8 is in epel-testing now.

    BTW, the most recent version in the Centos 7 repo is 0.103.7v1 so we can't update to the new security patch release today even if we could.

    FYI ClearOS 7 is on 0.103.6-1.v7 > we need 0.103.8 but I'm not sure where to find this if it exists already.

    Alan,

    I don't think we will get an update nor reply on this

    While I agree with you, I think for all the people who are still paying for support, a critical update should be provided.

    If Clear does nothing, can we figure out how to pull this from the Redhat or Centos repos or clamav github and update?
