Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to clamav announced via advisory DSA 1616-1.

This VT has been deprecated and merged into the VT 'Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1616)' (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.61369).

Vulnerability Insight:
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-3etch13. For the unstable distribution (sid), the
problem has been fixed in version 0.93.1.dfsg-1.1.

Solution:
We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.
