I will look after the Stretch update. I won't do it for Jessie. I
*strongly* recommend that you take the Stretch version and and push it
into Jessie. That means you end up with 0.100.1 and not 0.100.0 plus
those two CVEs. One thing that did not receive a CVE was the fix in the
libmspack library which in bundled in clamav and libmspack upstream
fixed it differently (hint: the debian version uses the library). The
same goes for the unrar parts.

As I said, I strongly recommend to not only fix the CVEs mentioned.
Upstream is not very good at it.
