On my (quite recently installed) Gentoo system I get:

/usr/share/doc/libinput-1.7.3/html/jquery.js: PUA.Html.Exploit.CVE_2014_0322-1 FOUND

on scanning /usr/share with clamscan (with the --detect-pua option).

Also, /usr/share/mime/mime.cache is detected, but as I understand this is a generated file, so I assume the latter may be a false positive.

/usr/share/mime/mime.cache: PUA.Win.Exploit.CVE_2012_0110-1 FOUND

You're running clamav with the "--detect-pua" flag or "DetectPUA yes" in clamd.conf which is disabled by default, and is designed to catch things other than viruses. For example, it will flag bittorrent clients, IRC clients, network scanners, etc.

I would recommend turning off the "possibly unwanted application" detection, because the sort of things that would be "possibly unwanted" on my mom's Windows workstation are the same sort of things that Gentoo users love to play with.

this seems to not be uncommon .. if you search the web you can find more people reporting similar messages.

In any case this would be something for upstream to fix, not for gentoo itself
