Sure.  How about:

Upstream published version 0.98.5.

This is a mostly a bugfix release. The changes are not strictly required
for operation, but users of the previous version in Wheezy may not be
able to make use of all current virus signatures and might get warnings.

The bug fixes that are part of this release include the resolution of an
issue in clamscan, the command line anti-virus scanner included in the
package, which could lead to crashes when scanning certain files 
(CVE-2013-6497).  It also resolves an issue in libclamav which caused a heap 
buffer overflow when scanning a specially crafted y0da Crypter obfuscated PE 
file 
(CVE-2014-9050). Note that this is remotely exploitable when ClamAV is used as 
a mail gateway scanner.

If you use clamav, we highly recommend that you upgrade to this version.

That seems scary enough to get me to upgrade.
