but there's nothing we can do about it:

Upstream has added a test case for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775693. However, the test could also be used as exploit, that's why clamav is detecting that file.

Because there's a valid reason for ClamAV to detect that code and there's a valid reason for gdk-pixbuf upstream to carry such a test, we cannot do anything.
