Solution
Solution
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.84-2.sarge.11. Due to technical problems with the build host this update lacks a build for the Sparc architecture. It will be provided soon. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.88.5-1. We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%201196-1
