clamav bug report as fixed

[modom46]

Scott,

Found this bug report that says the clamav 0.95 is fixed:
https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1476

Will this be available soon in your repository or does more testing have to take place?

Thanks!

Assuming we can legally work with the unrar libs and redistribute the package, sure.

[modom46]

Gosh I hope so!

After I posted I realized it said Solaris.

Thanks! Will keep checking ... seems like a lot of viruses out there now.

[scott]

Yeah, this is no big deal though. It just means that it cant look files inside a rar file. 0.95 works against everything else just fine.

[modom46]

My only concern is that the sane security databases are not being updated or maybe I'm missing something.

[biggles]

Have you tried to run freshclam?

[scott]

This doesnt effect the updates at all. You can manually run the clamav_updater.sh script to see it download the updates, otherwise it will grab them nightly when freshclam runs.

[modom46]

I did run both of these but get errors on the clamav_updater.sh script.

Those are just warnings, it updated successfully

[modom46]

Thanks! No worry then!

Scott,
My clamav has not updated since installing 0.95. When I run Freshclam I get this message:
ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).

Permissions on freshclam.log are "qscand:qscand". This hasn't changed. I noticed permissions on the clamd.log did change from "qscand:qscand" to qscand:clamav". I tried changing that on the freshclam.log but it didn't make any difference.

When running the clamav_updater.sh scritp, i get this:
Updating Securiteinfo Databases: LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen: file not found - unrar support unavailable
VX LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen: file not found - unrar support unavailable

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Try using the 0.95-5 build from atomic-testing. You should probably upgrade your qmail-scanner too

[jwdick]

Thanks Scott,

That worked!
