==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.04

Summary:

An attacker could send crafted input to ClamAV and cause it to
crash.

Software Description:

Details:

It was discovered that the hash processing code in libclamav improperly
handled messages with certain hashes. This could allow a remote attacker to
craft a document that could cause clamav to crash, resulting in a denial of
service.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
