clamav vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 23.04

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

ClamAV could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- clamav: Anti-virus utility for Unix

Details:

It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing HFS+ files. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash,
resulting in a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 23.04:
   clamav                          0.103.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.23.04.1

   clamav                          0.103.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
   clamav                          0.103.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.1

fixes. In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary
changes.
