CVE-2008-5050 ClamAV vulnerability
Title: ClamAV vulnerability
Summary: ClamAV vulnerability
Moritz Jodeit discovered that ClamAV did not correctly handle certain
strings when examining a VBA project. If a remote attacker tricked ClamAV
into processing a malicious VBA file, ClamAV would crash, leading to a
denial of service.
Instructions: In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
