How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 clamav to version 0.100.1+dfsg-1ubuntu0.14.04.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream clamav package and not the clamav package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

ClamAV before 0.100.1 lacks a PDF object length check, resulting in an unreasonably long time to parse a relatively small file.
