+  <title>Clam Antivirus DoS vulnerability</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Oliver Eikemeier has reported a vulnerability in Clam AV, which can be
+    exploited by a malformed uuencoded message causing a denial of service for
+    programs that rely on the clamav daemon, such as SMTP daemons.

+    <p>
+    Clam AntiVirus is a GPLed anti-virus toolkit, designed for integration with
+    mail servers to perform attachment scanning. Clam AV also provides a
+    command line scanner and a tool for fetching updates of the virus database.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Oliver Eikemeier of Fillmore Labs discovered the overflow in Clam AV 0.65
+    when it handled malformed UUEncoded messages, causing the daemon to shut
+    down.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    The problem originated in libclamav which calculates the line length of an
+    uuencoded message by taking the ASCII value of the first character minus 64
+    while doing an assertion if the length is not in the allowed range,
+    effectively terminating the calling program as clamav would not be
+    available.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A malformed message would cause a denial of service,
+    and depending on the server configuration this may impact other daemons
+    relying on Clam AV in a fatal manner.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no immediate workaround, a software upgrade is required.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All users are urged to upgrade their Clam AV installations to Clam AV 0.67:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    # emerge -pv "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.6.7"
+    # emerge "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.6.7"</code>
