In case anyone missed it. Clamav needs an update.

Note:  if you put this in your freshclam.conf you will get an email from
your server if it needs a major update:
(only pick one, if you have 100 servers, you sure don't want 100 emails)

OnOutdatedExecute echo "Clamav needs update to version %v" \
| mail -s "`hostname` Clamav needs major update"

Subject: [SECNAP First-Alerts] ClamAV versions up to 0.88.3 DoS (NEW -
Makesure to UPDATE to the latest version)


ClamAV versions up to 0.88.3 DoS (NEW)

Published: 2006-08-07,

Last Updated: 2006-08-08 00:15:14 UTC by Jim Clausing (Version: 3(click
to highlight changes))

A Secunia bulletin earlier today alerted us to a potential denial of
service in the popular open-source anti-virus package ClamAV.  The
vulnerability is in the pefromupx() routine for unpacking a UPX packed
PE executable.  The advisory states that all versions up to, and
including, 0.88.4 are vulnerable.  The front page of
http://www.clamav.net states that the latest stable version is 0.88.4,
but the "stable" page only mentions 0.88.3 released last month.  The
sourceforge download page lists a clamav-0.88.4.tar.gz (and .sig), but
at the time of this writing, actually clicking on the link results in a
"file not found" error.  So, it looks like they are scrambling to fix
this one and the new version should be available shortly.


Update: (2006-08-08 00:10) The tarball is available now as is a
proof-of-concept.
