+ <p>
+ Damian Put has discovered a boundary error in the pefromupx() function
+ used by the UPX extraction module, which unpacks PE Windows executable
+ files. Both the "clamscan" command-line utility and the "clamd" daemon
+ are affected.

+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ By sending a malicious attachment to a mail server running ClamAV, a
+ remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service and potentially the
+ execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
+ ClamAV.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.88.4"</code>
