    especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways.

    <p>
    iDefense reported an integer overflow vulnerability in the cli_scanpe()
    function when parsing Portable Executable (PE) files packed in the MEW
    format, that could be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow
    (CVE-2007-6335). Toeroek Edwin reported an off-by-one error when
    decompressing MS-ZIP compressed CAB files (CVE-2007-6336). An
    unspecified vulnerability related to the bzip2 decompression algorithm
    has also been discovered (CVE-2007-6337).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to scan a
    specially crafted file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user running ClamAV (either a system
    user or the "clamav" user if clamd is compromised).
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.91.2-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
