Description

πŸ“ Preliminary Checks

  • I tried searching for an existing issue and followed the debugging docs advice, but still need assistance.

πŸ‘€ What Happened?

CVE-2025-20260 is a buffer overflow write vulnerability located in ClamAV's PDF file parser module. It can lead to remote code execution (RCE) or denial-of-service (DoS) on affected systems.

This vulnerability is triggered only if:

max_file_size scan limit is set to β‰₯ 1024MB

max_scan_size scan limit is set to β‰₯ 1025MB

These settings might be configured by users handling large attachments or high-volume mail servers.

Please ensure that the ClamAV version used in docker-mailserver is updated to 1.4.3 (or 1.0.9 for LTS users) in the next patch release.
Additionally, a warning in the documentation about the large scan/file size limit thresholds might help reduce exposure.
