What is CVE-2017-12376?

ClamAV AntiVirus versions up to 0.99.2 are prone to a vulnerability stemming from inadequate input validation while processing PDF files. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this flaw by transmitting a specially crafted PDF document, potentially leading to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The issue arises during the scanning process, specifically at the handle_pdfname function, where a buffer overflow could occur, compromising the affected device's stability and security.
