+ From <uri link="http://www.clamav.net/">http://www.clamav.net/</uri> :
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ "Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose
+ of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment
+ scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
+ daemon, a command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via
+ Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with
+ the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software.
+ Most importantly, the virus database is kept up to date."

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Certain types of RAR archives, including those created by variants of
+ the W32.Beagle.A@mm worm, may cause clamav to crash when it attempts to
+ process them.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ This vulnerability causes a Denial of Service in the clamav process.
+ Depending on configuration, this may cause dependent services such as
+ mail to fail as well.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are
+ advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ ClamAV users should upgrade to version 0.68.1 or later:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.68.1"
+ # emerge "&gt;=app-antivirus/clamav-0.68.1"</code>
