The following security flaws were found and fixed in the ClamAV 
anti-virus toolkit:

CVE-2008-6680

    libclamav/pe.c in ClamAV before 0.95 allows remote attackers to 
    cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted EXE file that 
    triggers a divide-by-zero error.

CVE-2009-1270

    libclamav/untar.c in ClamAV before 0.95 allows remote attackers 
    to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted file 
    that causes (1) clamd and (2) clamscan to hang.

no CVE yet
    libclamav/other.h in ClamAV before 0.95.1 allows remote attackers 
    to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted EXE files packed 
    using UPack.

For etch, an updated ClamAV package is available in etch/volatile as
version 0.94.dfsg.2-1~volatile3 which incorporates only above security
fixes for 0.94. An updated package with version 0.95.1 of the ClamAV 
package will follow soon.
