Debian Security Advisory DSA 947-1 (ClamAV)



Hi Guys.

I was perusing the latest security advisories and noticed this one that
refers to ClamAV.

To quote the advisory:
<quote>
A heap overflow has been discovered in ClamAV, a virus scanner, which
could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a carefully
crafted UPX-encoded executable to a system runnig ClamAV. In addition,
other potential overflows have been corrected.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not include ClamAV.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.84-2.sarge.7.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.86.2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your clamav package immediately.

I checked the version I'm running on my amd64 boxen and it's version
0.88-2. Anyone know it this version is vulnerable, and if so, when a
fix will be available?  

Regards,
Ozz.
