  <description>
    <p>
    Damian Put and an anonymous researcher reported a potential heap-based
    buffer overflow vulnerability in rebuildpe.c responsible for the
    rebuilding of an unpacked PE file, and a possible crash in chmunpack.c
    in the CHM unpacker.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    By sending a malicious attachment to a mail server running ClamAV, or
    providing a malicious file to ClamAV through any other method, a remote
    attacker could 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 "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.88.5"</code>
  </resolution>
