Sebastian Harl uploaded new packages for clamav which fixed the following security problems: CVE-2008-5050, Debian BTS #505134 Moritz Jodeit discovered that ClamAV, an anti-virus solution, suffers from an off-by-one-error in its VBA project file processing, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially arbitrary code execution. CVE-2008-5314, Debian BTS #507624 Ilja van Sprundel discovered that ClamAV contains a denial of service condition in its JPEG file processing because it does not limit the recursion depth when processing JPEG thumbnails. For the etch-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in version 0.94.dfsg.2-1~bpo40+1. For the etch-volatile distribution the problems have been fixed in versions 0.94.dfsg.1-1~volatile1 and 0.94.dfsg.2-1~volatile1. For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 0.90.1dfsg-4etch16 For the testing and unstable distributions (lenny and sid) the problems have been fixed in versions 0.94.dfsg.1-1 and 0.94.dfsg.2-1. Upgrade instructions -------------------- If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the package manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.
