Hi,

The following vulnerabilities were published for clamav.

CVE-2026-20339[0]:
| A vulnerability in the PESpin file format parser of ClamAV could
| allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition
| or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory
| corruption on an affected device.    This vulnerability is due to
| improper boundary checks for content in PESpin files during
| scanning, which may result in an integer overflow. An attacker could
| exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted file that
| contains PESpin content to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected
| device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the
| ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition
| on the affected software.

CVE-2026-20345[1]:
| A vulnerability in the GPT file format parser of ClamAV could allow
| an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition or
| possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory
| corruption on an affected device.    This vulnerability is due to
| improper handling of an endian conversion operation, which may
| result in an out-of-bounds buffer write. An attacker could exploit
| this vulnerability by submitting a crafted GPT file to be scanned by
| ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the
| attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate,
| resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software.

CVE-2026-20346[2]:
| A vulnerability in the PDF file format parser of ClamAV could allow
| an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition or
| possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory
| corruption on an affected device.    This vulnerability is due to
| improper boundary checks for content in PDF files during scanning,
| which may result in an out-of-bounds buffer read. An attacker could
| exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted PDF file to be
| scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could
| allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to
| terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software.

CVE-2026-20347[3]:
| A vulnerability in the Mach-O file format parser of ClamAV could
| allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition
| or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory
| corruption on an affected device.    This vulnerability is due to
| improper boundary checks for content in Mach-O files during
| scanning, which may result in an out-of-bounds buffer read. An
| attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted
| Mach-O file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A
| successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV
| scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the
| affected software.

CVE-2026-20348[4]:
| A vulnerability in the XAR file format parser of ClamAV could allow
| an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition or
| possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory
| corruption on an affected device.    This vulnerability is due to
| improper boundary checks for content in XAR files during scanning.
| An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted
| file that contains XAR content to be scanned by ClamAV on an
| affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to
| cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS
| condition on the affected software.
