clamav regression
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04

Summary:

ClamAV could improperly detect malware if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- clamav: Anti-virus utility for Unix

Details:

USN-1482-1 fixed vulnerabilities in ClamAV. The updated packages could fail
to install in certain situations. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled certain malformed TAR
 archives. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted TAR file
 containing malware that could escape being detected. (CVE-2012-1457,
 CVE-2012-1459)
 
 It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled certain malformed CHM
 files. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted CHM file
 containing malware that could escape being detected. (CVE-2012-1458)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
  clamav                          0.97.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.12.04.2
  clamav-daemon                   0.97.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.12.04.2
  libclamav6                      0.97.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.12.04.2

Ubuntu 11.10:
  clamav                          0.97.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.11.10.2
  clamav-daemon                   0.97.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.11.10.2
  libclamav6                      0.97.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.11.10.2
