*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: clamav

Clamav in Jaunty (0.95.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1.2) has been patched to fix a
security vulnerability. The version in Karmic (0.95.1+dfsg-2ubuntu1)
ported from Unstable does not seem to be patched, and it thus should be
patched ASAP.


clamav (0.95.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1.2) jaunty-security; urgency=low

  * SECURITY UPDATE: clamav-milter.init changes current directory owner
    to user 'clamav' when run, potentially breaking ssh chroots, user's
    home directories (LP: #365823)
    - debian/clamav-milter.init: fixed pidfile chown on startup from Debian
      clamav git repo
    - debian/clamav-milter.postinst.in: added cleanup code to search for
      and restore clamav-owned directories to root and remove rogue /none
      file (LP: #363796, #363804)

** Affects: clamav (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** This bug has been flagged as a security vulnerability
