[VUA 42-1] Updated clamav package fixes security flaw



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Volatile Update Announcement VUA 42-1     http://volatile.debian.org
debian-volatile@lists.debian.org                 Stephen Gran, Andi Barth
February 12th, 2008                              
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package              : clamav
Version              : etch: 0.92.1~dfsg-1volatile1
Importance           : high
CVE IDs              : CVE-2007-6595, CVE-2008-0318

The following security flaws were found and fixed in clamav:

CVE-2007-6595: symlink attack allows to overwrite arbitrary files by
  local users via cli_gentempfd in libclamav/others.c or in sigtool
  with utf16-decode enabled.
CVE-2008-0318: integer overflow in libclamav/pe.c


For etch, an updated ClamAV package is available in etch/volatile as
version 0.92.1~dfsg-1volatile1.

For sarge, we decided to end-of-live support in volatile, and recommend
that you upgrade your system to etch as soon as possible (we already have
the key for the packages-files expired since some time and didn't receive
complaints, so we don't expect that is still much in use).
