american-fuzzy-lop contains exploit samples which trigger ClamAV

(Thanks to Patrick for bringing this issue to my attention.)

American Fuzzy Lop ("afl", Fedora package american-fuzzy-lop) is an
instrumentation-driven fuzzer for binary formats.  ClamAV is a
(Windows?) virus scanner.

Afl's documentation comes with some demonstration vulerabilities found
by afl.  These are shipped in the source tarball and SRPM and also
installed as a %doc section in the binary
(/usr/share/doc/american-fuzzy-lop/vuln_samples/).

Unfortunately some of these samples trigger ClamAV
"Win.Exploit.CVE_2015_0076-1 FOUND".

In this particular case it appears to be one or more of these files:

  jxrlib-crash2.jxr
  jxrlib-crash3.jxr
  jxrlib-crash4.jxr
  jxrlib-crash.jxr
  msie-jxr-mem-leak.jxr

which contain a badly formatted JPEG XR file that triggered a mild CVE
in Windows:

  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms15-029.aspx

(so this is not a false positive or over-active virus scanner).

I'm inclined to ignore this and point people to this posting if there
are any bugs filed.  But maybe there is some Fedora policy which
applies here?
