Bug#403034: Deep MIME Nesting Content Filter Bypass

Package: clamav
Version: 0.88.7-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security

While the new 0.88.7 version fixes CVE-2006-6406 and CVE-2006-6481 the
update introduces another flaw that lets viruses pass undetected. If a
virus is nested deeper than the --max-mail-recursion limit, the file
will pass and ClamAV's exit code indicates that the file was scanned
properly.

Again, details, PoC, and discussion can be found at
