Heap-based buffer overflow in libclamav/upx.c in Clam Antivirus (ClamAV)
before 0.88 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted UPX files.
http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0162

Solution: Update to 0.88-1

About:
Clam AntiVirus is an 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 commandline 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 in your own software.

Changes:
 Security fixes
 See http://www.clamav.net/doc/0.88/ChangeLog

See http://freshmeat.net/projects/clamav/

I've encountered libtool problems with detecting import libs, so this
release deletes /usr/bin/cygclamav-1.dll and uses statically linked
exe's. I hope to get these problems fixed for the next release.
