NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream clamav-devel package and not the clamav-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability in ClamAV versions prior to 0.100.2 could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to an error related to the MEW unpacker within the "unmew11()" function (libclamav/mew.c), which can be exploited to trigger an invalid read memory access via a specially crafted EXE file.
