[Bug 658341] [NEW] libclamav6: Some PDFs cause "Unknown error code ERROR"

[Scott Kitterman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: clamav

Clamav-daemon now fails to scan specific PDF files with the message
"Unknown error code ERROR".  I believe that only some PDFs are affected,
as we're only seeing this with (AFAICT) one message on one of several
low-volume mail servers we manage.

It appears to be the issue described in
  https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2296

TEST CASE: Scan an affected file using clamdscan <filename> (please
contact the author of the bug if you need a test file - I have one, but
it has private information in it, so I'm not attaching it to the bug).
You should see in the results something like:


<path/filename>: Unknown error code ERROR

Upgrade to the maverick-proposed package and scan again.  This time you
should get something like:

<path/filename>: OK

This means the fix has worked.
