Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-07-26 10:29:09 UTC
An off-by-one error was found in the way the hash manager of Clam AntiVirus, a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, performed scan of messages with certain hashes. A remote attacker could provide a message with specially-crafted hash signature in it, leading to denial of service (clamscan executable crash).
