Trustix has released updated packages to correct two vulnerabilities identified in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV). The first issue is due to a buffer overflow error in "libclamav/upx.c" when processing malformed UPX-packed executables, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by sending, to a vulnerable application, emails containing specially crafted files. The second issue is due to an error in "libclamav/fsg.c" when processing specially crafted FSG-packed executables, which could be exploited by attackers to cause the application to enter an infinite loop. For additional information, see : FrSIRT/ADV-2005-1774
