Description Tomas Hoger 2007-11-20 15:23:52 UTC
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2007-6029 to the following vulnerability:

Unspecified vulnerability in ClamAV 0.91.1 and 0.91.2 allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted e-mail message.
NOTE: this information is based upon a vague advisory by a
vulnerability information sales organization that does not coordinate
with vendors or release actionable advisories. A CVE has been assigned
for tracking purposes, but duplicates with other CVEs are difficult to
determine.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2007-11-20 15:29:18 UTC
According to referenced blog post, this is impact=critical vulnerability. 
However, without any details about vulnerability, there's probably not much we
or clamav upstream can do to properly address it...  So this bug was mainly
created for tracking purposes.

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2008-04-25 09:06:02 UTC
There's still not public information regarding this issue.  I'm closing CANTFIX,
as there's not a lot more we can do.

Other vendors seem to have taken the same approach:
