    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200501-46 (ClamAV: Multiple issues) ClamAV fails to properly scan ZIP files with special headers (CAN-2005-0133) and base64 encoded images in URLs. Impact : By sending a base64 encoded image file in a URL an attacker could evade virus scanning. By sending a specially crafted ZIP file an attacker could cause a Denial of Service by crashing the clamd daemon. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
