From 01b9562d5762de0c64ca79e4bbabd039be50cc2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2026 13:08:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] clamav: 5-MOAD scan; clamav-0001 CWE-312 proxy password logged verbatim on curl failure MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MOAD-0001 (CWE-407): CLEAN. AC trie, BM hash, and hash tables used throughout our hot scan paths. No linear membership scan in our critical code paths. MOAD-0002 (Intertangle): CLEAN. cl_engine is read-only during scan; cli_ctx is stack-local per scan_common invocation. MOAD-0003 (Leaked Context): CLEAN. No pthread thread-locals for scan identity; cli_ctx is per-scan-invocation stack variable. MOAD-0004 (Logged Secret): clamav-0001 — create_curl_handle() in libfreshclam/libfreshclam_internal.c:735 logs g_proxyPassword verbatim in our LOGG_ERROR path when curl_easy_setopt(CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD) fails. FreshClam logs are world-readable by default on Linux. Fix: remove our credential from our error message, retain our option name for debugging. MOAD-0005 (Thundering Herd): CLEAN. cache.c uses splay-tree-per-bucket with pthread_mutex_t protecting each bucket on every access. --- SCAN-TODO.md | 1 + defects/clamav-0001/TICKET.md | 71 ++++++++ defects/clamav-0001/patch/clamav-0001.patch | 14 ++ defects/clamav-0001/test/test_clamav_0001.py | 181 +++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 267 insertions(+) create mode 100644 defects/clamav-0001/TICKET.md create mode 100644 defects/clamav-0001/patch/clamav-0001.patch create mode 100644 defects/clamav-0001/test/test_clamav_0001.py diff --git a/SCAN-TODO.md b/SCAN-TODO.md index d16864327..ed3c769a6 100644 --- a/SCAN-TODO.md +++ b/SCAN-TODO.md @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ Rule: clone, scan, delete clone after.
