CVE-2025-20260
A vulnerability in the PDF scanning processes of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow condition, cause a denial of service (DoS) condition, or execute arbitrary code on an affected device.
This vulnerability exists because memory buffers are allocated incorrectly when PDF files are processed. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted PDF file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
A successful exploit could allow the attacker to trigger a buffer overflow, likely resulting in the termination of the ClamAV scanning process and a DoS condition on the affected software. Although unproven, there is also a possibility that an attacker could leverage the buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the ClamAV process.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 1.63%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 75
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad en los procesos de escaneo de PDF de ClamAV podría permitir que un atacante remoto no autenticado provoque un desbordamiento de búfer, una denegación de servicio (DoS) o ejecute código arbitrario en un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a que los búferes de memoria se asignan incorrectamente al procesar archivos PDF. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando un archivo PDF manipulado para que ClamAV lo escanee en un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación exitosa podría permitir al atacante provocar un desbordamiento de búfer, lo que probablemente resultaría en la finalización del proceso de escaneo de ClamAV y una denegación de servicio (DoS) en el software afectado. Aunque no se ha demostrado, también existe la posibilidad de que un atacante aproveche el desbordamiento de búfer para ejecutar código arbitrario con los privilegios del proceso de ClamAV."
