Insight
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in clamav:
ClamAV before 0.96 does not properly handle the (1) CAB and (2) 7z file formats, which allows remote attackers to bypass virus detection via a crafted archive that is compatible with standard archive utilities (CVE-2010-0098).
The qtm_decompress function in libclamav/mspack.c in ClamAV before 0.96 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted CAB archive that uses the Quantum (aka .Q) compression format. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information (CVE-2010-1311).
This update provides clamav 0.96, which is not vulnerable to these issues.

Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program.
