CVE-2008-5050
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 8.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 8.10:
libclamav5 0.94.dfsg.1-1ubuntu0.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Moritz Jodeit discovered that ClamAV did not correctly handle certain
strings when examining a VBA project. If a remote attacker tricked ClamAV
into processing a malicious VBA file, ClamAV would crash, leading to a
denial of service.
