amount of CPU and memory resources before crashing. A solution is to
check for zero-length sep parameters.

architectures.
SECURITY
This release fixes a possible security problem in freshclam.
See http://www.clamav.net/security/0.88.2.html for a full security report.
Versions of this module prior to 2.17 were incorrectly
using 8 byte IVs when generating the old-style RandomIV style header
(as opposed to the new-style random salt header). This affects data
encrypted using the Rijndael algorithm, which has a 16 byte blocksize,
and is a significant security issue.
The bug has been corrected in versions 2.17 and higher by making it
impossible to use 16-byte block ciphers with RandomIV headers. You may
still read legacy encrypted data by explicitly passing the
-insecure_legacy_decrypt option to Crypt::CBC->new().
from gnupg.org:
Signature verification of non-detached signatures may give a positive
result but when extracting the signed data, this data may be prepended
or appended with extra data not covered by the signature. Thus it is
possible for an attacker to take any signed message and inject extra
arbitrary data.
The security issue is caused due to "gpgv" exiting with a return code
of 0 even if the detached signature file did not carry any signature.
This may result in certain scripts that use "gpgv" to conclude that
the signature is correctly verified.

This supersedes pkg/MESSAGE.
Regen patches with update-patches while I'm here. Bump PKGNAME.
