DESCRIPTION
Clamav[1] is an anti-virus utility for Unix/Linux.

This announcement updates clamav so it is able to update its database
from the server without any problems related to its format and also
because it fixes a security issue which could lead to a denial of
service[2] situation.

SOLUTION
It is recommended that all clamav users upgrade their packages. This
update will automatically restart the service if it is already
running.
