Ubuntu priority

Why this priority?

freshclam in (1) Clam Antivirus (ClamAV) 0.88 and (2) ClamXav 1.0.3h and earlier does not drop privileges before processing the config-file command line option, which allows local users to read portions of arbitrary files when an error message displays the first line of the target file.
