I'm just playing about with this and I can't seem to get it to work quite the way I expect. I've created two signatures, to match the jpeg exploit we discussed recently. My idea is that although the signature is very small it minimises false positives by being restricted to graphics files and then looking for the jpeg magic number at the start of the file. Since we established the other day that the four byte sequence that triggers the exploit can't appear in a genuine jpeg this should be okay. Anyway, I created signatures in local.ndb as follows...
Exploit.Jpeg.comment.1:5:0:ffd8*fffe0000 Exploit.Jpeg.comment.2:5:0:ffd8*fffe0001 And tried scanning the exploit sample from here http://www.gulftech.org/?node=downloads Nothing! Trying again with --debug I see this message LibClamAV debug: Type: 501, expected: 514 (Exploit.Jpeg.comment.2) LibClamAV debug: Type: 501, expected: 514 (Exploit.Jpeg.comment.1) I only seem able to get this to work by changing the target type in the sig to 0 i.e. Exploit.Jpeg.comment.1:0:0:ffd8*fffe0000 Exploit.Jpeg.comment.2:0:0:ffd8*fffe0001 At which point it all works, but surely it should work with a target type of 5? BTW. I tried both scanning the jpg and a message containing it same result BTW2.
