</p>
<p>
"Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose
of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment
scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
daemon, a command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via
Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with
the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software.
Most importantly, the virus database is kept up to date."

<description>
<p>
Certain types of RAR archives, including those created by variants of
the W32.Beagle.A@mm worm, may cause clamav to crash when it attempts to
process them.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
This vulnerability causes a Denial of Service in the clamav process.
Depending on configuration, this may cause dependent services such as
mail to fail as well.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are
advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
</p>
</workaround>
