CVE-2026-20346

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.

Summary		(es) Una vulnerabilidad en el analizador de formato de archivo PDF de ClamAV podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado causar una condición de DoS o posiblemente otros impactos expandidos como resultado de corrupción de memoria en un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a comprobaciones de límites inadecuadas para el contenido en archivos PDF durante el escaneo, lo que puede resultar en una lectura de búfer fuera de límites. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al enviar un archivo PDF manipulado para ser escaneado por ClamAV en un dispositivo afectado. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante causar la terminación del proceso de escaneo de ClamAV, lo que resultaría en una condición de DoS en el software afectado.
