Description Adam Mariš 2017-07-19 11:45:58 UTC
The cabd_read_string function in mspack/cabd.c in libmspack 0.5alpha,
as used in ClamAV 0.99.2 and other products, allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and application
crash) via a crafted CAB file.

Comment 7 Sergio Basto 2018-01-11 04:03:23 UTC
clamav source , clean and not clean does not contain any cabd_read_string function neither libclamav/libmspack.c only libclamav/mspack.c [2], i.e those function only available on version 0.99.3 [3] 
anyway maybe also applicable to libmspack itself [1]
