CVE-2018-18585

Published: 22 October 2018

chmd_read_headers in mspack/chmd.c in libmspack before 0.8alpha accepts a filename that has '\0' as its first or second character (such as the "/\0" name).

Notes

We released clamav 0.100.2+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1X.04.2 for precise/esm
and trusty, but subsequently were notified the bundled libmspack is
not actually vulnerable in this case, because ClamAV assigns a
filename with a generated hash.
