    <p>
    Damian Put has discovered a boundary error in the pefromupx() function
    used by the UPX extraction module, which unpacks PE Windows executable
    files. Both the "clamscan" command-line utility and the "clamd" daemon
    are affected.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    By sending a malicious attachment to a mail server running ClamAV, a
    remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service and potentially the
    execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
    ClamAV.
    </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-0.88.4&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
