    An integer overflow has been reported in the "cli_scanpe()" function in
    file libclamav/pe.c (CVE-2008-0318). Another unspecified vulnerability

  </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 &quot;&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.92.1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
