How to fix?

Upgrade clamav to version 0.93 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The rfc2231 function in message.c in libclamav in ClamAV before 0.93 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted message that produces a string that is not null terminated, which triggers a buffer over-read.
