Overview
Request 750749 accepted
- update to 0.102.1
* CVE-2019-15961: A Denial-of-Service (DoS) vulnerability may
occur when scanning a specially crafted email file as a result
of excessively long scan times. The issue is resolved by
implementing several maximums in parsing MIME messages and by
optimizing use of memory allocation.
* Build system fixes to build clamav-milter, to correctly link
with libxml2 when detected, and to correctly detect fanotify
for on-access scanning feature support.
* Signature load time is significantly reduced by changing to a
more efficient algorithm for loading signature patterns and
allocating the AC trie. Patch courtesy of Alberto Wu.
* Introduced a new configure option to statically link libjson-c
with libclamav. Static linking with libjson is highly
recommended to prevent crashes in applications that use
libclamav alongside another JSON parsing library.
* Null-dereference fix in email parser when using the
--gen-json metadata option.
* Fixes for Authenticode parsing and certificate signature
(.crb database) bugs.
- dropped clamav-fix_building_milter.patch (upstreamed)
- update to 0.102.0
* The On-Access Scanning feature has been migrated out of clamd
and into a brand new utility named clamonacc. This utility is
similar to clamdscan and clamav-milter in that it acts as a
client to clamd. This separation from clamd means that clamd no
longer needs to run with root privileges while scanning potentially
malicious files. Instead, clamd may drop privileges to run under an
account that does not have super-user. In addition to improving the
security posture of running clamd with On-Access enabled, this
update fixed a few outstanding defects:
- On-Access scanning for created and moved files (Extra-Scanning)
is fixed.
- VirusEvent for On-Access scans is fixed.
- With clamonacc, it is now possible to copy, move, or remove a
file if the scan triggered an alert, just like with clamdscan.
* The freshclam database update utility has undergone a significant
update. This includes:
- Added support for HTTPS.
- Support for database mirrors hosted on ports other than 80.
- Removal of the mirror management feature (mirrors.dat).
- An all new libfreshclam library API.
- created new subpackage libfreshclam2
- dropped clamav-max_patch.patch (upstreamed)
- added clamav-fix_building_milter.patch to fix build of milter
