Original NVD Description

The filecopy function in misc.c in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) before 0.85, on Mac OS, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a virus in a filename that contains shell metacharacters, which are not properly handled when HFS permissions prevent the file from being deleted and ditto is invoked.
