Summary

It was discovered that an integer overflow in the decompression code
for MEW archives may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2007-6336

It was discovered that on off-by-one in the MS-ZIP decompression
code may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.90.1-3etch8.

The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected by these problems.
However, since the clamav version from Sarge cannot process all current
Clam malware signatures any longer, support for the ClamAV in Sarge is
now discontinued. We recommend to upgrade the the stable distribution
or run a backport of the stable version.

The unstable distribution (sid) will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.
