Back to all postsIn a recent alert, networking giant Cisco has warned about critical vulnerabilities in the open-source antivirus software ClamAV. These flaws, carrying a high severity rating, could potentially allow attackers to execute arbitrary code and cause a denial of service. The vulnerabilities have already been made public, making it likely that exploits are being developed or in use. This poses a significant threat to Canadian businesses as cyber attacks continue to rise, especially with remote work arrangements becoming more common due to the pandemic. It's essential for SMB owners and IT managers to update their ClamAV software immediately and apply the necessary patches to protect their networks from potential exploitation.
