Clam AntiVirus FSG File Processing Overflow

Don't worry, not turning this into a security bulletin blog :) But there is an issue with clamav.

We do use ClamAV on a bunch of our systems. I have found it to work great, and we use it as a first line of defense in many client situations, allowing us to drop virus laden E-mail's early in the incoming mail route.

If you haven't run it, I would recommend it, the virus list is large, response times for new signatures is tops, and freshclam will ensure that your definitions stay up to date. It allows you to submit viruses easily, and even add your own (there is a good tutorial in pdf found from antionline.com).

If anything interesting comes during the patching I will surely let you know.

Till next time:
