Accordingly to ClamAV bug #1771 (CVE-2010-1311), it is possible to crash the daemon with crafted file, which is not the intended behavior. I think these can be flagged as vulnerabilities. However, I am not sure if these are critical issues. Accordingly to secunia, these are highly-critical. Is there a standard way to classify the vulnerabilities? Do anyone know how Secunia classifies vulnerabilities? Regards, -- Eren
