More information:
 
Multiple security holes were found in clamav: 
 
CVE-2005-3239 
 
The OLE2 unpacker allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service  
by sending a DOC file with an invalid property tree, triggering  
an infinite recursion. 
 
CVE-2005-3500 
 
The tnef_attachment function in Clam AntiVirus before 0.87.1 
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, through 
an infinate loop and memory exhaustion, by crafting a CAB file 
with a value that causes ClamAV to repeatedly scan the same block 
 
CVE-2005-3501 
 
The cabd_find function in of the libmspack library in Clam AntiVirus 
before 0.87.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service 
via a crafted CAB file that causes cabd_find to be called with a zero 
length. 
 
CVE-2005-3303 
 
The FSB unpacker in Clam AntiVirus 0.80 through 0.87 allows 
remote attackers to cause memory corruption and execute arbitrary 
code via a crafted FSG 1.33 file. 

For the testing distribution (etch) this is fixed in version 0.87.1-0etch.1
For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version 0.87.1
