The remote host is missing an update to clamav announced via advisory DSA 947-1. A heap overflow has been discovered in ClamAV, a virus scanner, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a carefully crafted UPX-encoded executable to a system running ClamAV. In addition, other potential overflows have been corrected. The old stable distribution (woody) does not include ClamAV.
