Secunia reports:

A vulnerability has been reported in ClamAV, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service)
and potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
HTTP client in the Freshclam command line utility. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when the HTTP
headers received from a web server exceeds 8KB.
Successful exploitation requires that Freshclam is used to
download virus signature updates from a malicious mirror web
server e.g. via DNS poisoning.
