It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-6418 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Clamav Clamav. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6418/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6418/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6418","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6418/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6418","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-6418","GHSA-v49r-2h6g-2ghv","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-6418"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ClamAV antivirus library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via out-of-bounds read in ClamAV when processing crafted email messages.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"clamav","vendor":"clamav"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"libclamav/message.c in ClamAV 0.99.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted e-mail message.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6418","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"clamav:clamav","products":["clamav:clamav"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6419"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6417"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-08-07","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0098","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-04-08"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1372","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3914","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0728","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-02-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1615","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-04-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"ClamAV PDF Scanning Buffer Overflow Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-20260","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7087","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via out-of-bounds read in ClamAV when processing crafted email messages.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6418/"}
