Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'clamav' package(s) announced via the DSA-776-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several bugs were discovered in Clam AntiVirus, the antivirus scanner for Unix, designed for integration with mail servers to perform attachment scanning. The following problems were identified:

CAN-2005-2450

Neel Mehta and Alex Wheeler discovered that Clam AntiVirus is vulnerable to integer overflows when handling the TNEF, CHM and FSG file formats.

CVE-NOMATCH Mark Pizzolato fixed a possible infinite loop that could cause a denial of service.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected as it doesn't contain clamav.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.86.2-1.
