personally after poking at the FSG and the UPX vulns,  and some other
possible issues with decompression im poking at myself, i would not use
clamav right now. not enough care is taken when examining "packed"
executables.


that said, im sure i would feel the same way if i were able to look at
any of the non-linux antivirus solutions as well.

Should I/you or shouldn't I/you and why?

With this (ClamAV) being an anti-virus program, running on Linux,
creating a possible exploit:

Should you run an anti-virus on linux for non-work issues?
(Just home Workstations, Laptops, etc.. not mail servers.)

IMHO:
I've heard the "Keep from passing windows virus' from NTuserA --- you
--- NTuserB."
But I don't think that's a good enough reason to eat up my cycles, plus
I'm a huge fan of least apps/services running.

I Don't buy the "Market Share targeting" jazz either. It's more a design
issue based on least/most priviledge in my thinking.

 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:016
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : clamav
 Date    : January 16, 2006
 Affected: 10.1, 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0
_______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in ClamAV versions prior to
 0.88 which allows remote attackers to cause a crash and possibly
execute arbitrary code via specially crafted UPX files.
 
 This update provides ClamAV 0.88 which corrects this issue and also
fixes some other bugs.
