[Bug 1015405] Re: ClamAV error: CL_EFORMAT: Bad format or broken data

[Scott Kitterman]

** Description changed:

+ [IMPACT]
+ 
+  * Scanning errors on some files of some important types like PDF, DOC,
+ XLS, and tar.bz2.
+ 
+  * Can cause major disruption of mail servers and other applications
+ 
+  * Regression from previous releases
+ 
+  * Bug fix is upstream fix that will be included in the next clamav
+ release.
+ 
+ [TESTCASE]
+ 
+  * sudo apt-get install clamav (if not already installed) and once the
+ package is installed and signatures are downloaded you are ready to
+ test.
+ 
+  * With an appropriate test file (the thunderbird bz2 file that is
+ attached to the bug is one such file) run $ clamscan $FILENAME and you
+ should get an error as described in the original bug.
+ 
+  * Install the updated packages from -proposed
+ 
+  * Run the test again and it should test OK (no error and no virus
+ found).
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * Nil.  Patch taken from upstream and given where the patch is in the
+ code it would be very difficult to regress.
+ 
+ Original bug:
+ 
  got this in my syslog after update of clamav dunno if its a bug or not
