Description

clamav was updated to version 0.98.5 to fix two security issues.

These security issues were fixed:

- Segmentation fault when processing certain files (CVE-2013-6497).

- Heap-based buffer overflow when scanning crypted PE files

(CVE-2014-9050).

The following non-security issues were fixed:

- Support for the XDP file format and extracting, decoding, and scanning

PDF files within XDP files.

- Addition of shared library support for LLVM versions 3.1 - 3.5 for the

purpose of just-in-time(JIT) compilation of ClamAV bytecode signatures.

- Enhancements to the clambc command line utility to assist ClamAV

bytecode signature authors by providing introspection into compiled

bytecode programs.

- Resolution of many of the warning messages from ClamAV compilation.

- Improved detection of malicious PE files.

- ClamAV 0.98.5 now works with OpenSSL in FIPS compliant mode (bnc#904207).

- Fix server socket setup code in clamd (bnc#903489).
