CVE-2020-3481 [HIGH] CVE-2020-3481 clamav: improper error handling causing crash due to NULL pointer dereference
CVE-2020-3481 clamav: improper error handling causing crash due to NULL pointer dereference
Fixed a vulnerability in the EGG archive module in ClamAV 0.102.0 - 0.102.3 that could cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. Improper error handling could cause a crash due to a NULL pointer dereference. This vulnerability is mitigated for those using the official ClamAV signature databases because the file type signatures in daily.cvd will not enable the EGG archive parser in affected versions.
