<description>
<p>
Clam AntiVirus is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in
"libclamav/upx.c" when processing malformed UPX-packed executables. It
can also be sent into an infinite loop in "libclamav/fsg.c" when
processing specially-crafted FSG-packed executables.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
By sending a specially-crafted file an attacker could execute
arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Clam AntiVirus,
or cause a Denial of Service.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Clam AntiVirus users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.87&quot;</code>
</resolution>
