Upgrade Alpine:3.13 clamav to version 0.99.3-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream clamav package and not the clamav package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.13 relevant fixed versions and status.
The ClamAV AntiVirus software versions 0.99.2 and prior contain a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to a lack of input validation checking mechanisms during certain mail parsing functions (the rfc2047 function in mbox.c). An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email to the affected device. This action could cause a buffer overflow condition when ClamAV scans the malicious email, allowing the attacker to potentially cause a DoS condition on an affected device.
