Detail

This update corrects a packaging and build error in the packages released in DSA-1616-1. Those packages, while functional, did not actually apply the fix intended. This update restores the fix to the package build; no other changes are introduced. For reference, the text of the original advisory follows.

Damian Put discovered a vulnerability in the ClamAV anti-virus toolkit's parsing of Petite-packed Win32 executables. The weakness leads to an invalid memory access, and could enable an attacker to crash clamav by supplying a maliciously crafted Petite-compressed binary for scanning. In some configurations, such as when clamav is used in combination with mail servers, this could cause a system to "fail open," facilitating a follow-on viral attack.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies this weakness as CVE-2008-2713.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.90.1dfsg-3.1+etch14. For the unstable distribution (sid), the problem has been fixed in version 0.93.1.dfsg-1.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.
