CVE-2008-6680 [MEDIUM] ClamAV vulnerabilities
Title: ClamAV vulnerabilities
Summary: ClamAV vulnerabilities
It was discovered that ClamAV did not properly verify its input when
processing TAR archives. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted
TAR file and cause a denial of service via infinite loop. (CVE-2009-1270)
It was discovered that ClamAV did not properly validate Portable Executable
(PE) files. A remote attacker could send a crafted PE file and cause a
denial of service (divide by zero). (CVE-2008-6680)
Instructions: In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Personal comment
Probably SELINUX targeted policy, and Selinux Memory check, mitigate this
but it necessary to upgrade anyway. I open here because this is a security bug and not a generic bug.
Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities in ClamAV allow for the remote execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.
