tag_insight = "This update corrects a packaging and build error in the packages
released in DSA-1616-1.  Those packages, while functional, did not
actually apply the fix intended.  This update restores the fix
to the package build; no other changes are introduced.  For
reference, the text of the original advisory follows.

Damian Put discovered a vulnerability in the ClamAV anti-virus
toolkit's parsing of Petite-packed Win32 executables.  The weakness
leads to an invalid memory access, and could enable an attacker to
crash clamav by supplying a maliciously crafted Petite-compressed
binary for scanning.  In some configurations, such as when clamav
is used in combination with mail servers, this could cause a system
to fail open, facilitating a follow-on viral attack.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies this
weakness as CVE-2008-2713.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.90.1dfsg-3.1+etch14.  For the unstable distribution (sid),
the problem has been fixed in version 0.93.1.dfsg-1.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.";
