NEW DELHI: SonicWALL has issued a gateway anti-virus signature for users of its Internet threat prevention technology to enable day zero protection from vulnerability in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV). The vulnerability in the widely-used ClamAV open source gateway and client anti-virus software could lead to unauthorized hackers taking control of a user's system.

"The vulnerability could potentially be used to crash or even possibly reconfigure a device using ClamAV," said Boris Yanovsky, vice president, (Services Engineering), SonicWALL.

 "A hacker could send an e-mail with an attachment to a vulnerable appliance and, when the appliance checks the attachment for viruses, the executable would instead completely take over the appliance."
