Clam Anti-Virus (ClamAV Mac OS X) is affected by a command execution vulnerability as described within the advisory. Details within the advisory claim that when a suspected infected file is handled by the program and is not able to be removed ClamAV may attempt to copy it to another location utilizing the 'ditto' utility in Mac OS X. The ditto utility is called in an insecure manner allowing the attacker to include arbitrary commands in the file name that will would be executed in within ClamAV. The most recent version of ClamXAV is 0.85.1 and is not vulnerable, be certain you are running the latest version of this product.
