CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 clamav to version 0.100.1+dfsg-0+deb8u1 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 Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

ClamAV before 0.100.1 lacks a PDF object length check, resulting in an unreasonably long time to parse a relatively small file.
