Two bugs were discovered in clamav and are fixed by this release.
One issue is in clamscan, the command line anti-virus scanner included in the package, which could lead to crashes when scanning certain files (CVE-2013-6497). The second issue is in libclamav which caused a heap buffer overflow when scanning a specially crafted y0da Crypter obfuscated PE file (CVE-2014-9050). Note that this is remotely exploitable when ClamAV is used as a mail gateway scanner.
For Debian 6
Squeeze
