Off-by-one error in the icon_cb function in pe_icons.c in libclamav in ClamAV before 0.96.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-4261 is a ClamAV/libclamav flaw fixed in ClamAV 0.96.5. A crafted file processed by the scanner could corrupt memory, crash the scanning application, and possibly allow code execution. The public record does not show confirmed exploitation, but mail and file-scanning systems commonly process untrusted content. Exposure is most likely on systems running ClamAV or software embedding libclamav before 0.96.5, especially email gateways, file upload scanners, security appliances, and endpoint workflows that scan untrusted executable content. Treat this as a prompt patching issue for legacy ClamAV deployments. The main business risk is loss of scanning availability, with possible code execution noted but not fully evidenced in the source bundle. Mitigation focus: Upgrade ClamAV/libclamav to 0.96.5 or a later vendor-supported package.; Apply distribution advisories from Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva, Apple, or your platform vendor.; Identify products that bundle libclamav and check their vendor fix status..
