CVE-2007-0897: Apple Mac OS X Server

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 3.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Clam AntiVirus ClamAV before 0.90 does not close open file descriptors under certain conditions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption and failed scans) via CAB archives with a cabinet header record length of zero, which causes a function to return without closing a file descriptor.

Affected products

• Apple Mac OS X Server: before 10.4.11 (fixed in 10.4.11)
• Clamav Clamav: before 0.90 (fixed in 0.90)
• Debian Debian Linux: version 3.1 only
