It will allow selected individuals/organizations to publish ClamAV Virus Databases (CVD) through the ClamAV mirror network. If you choose to publish your signatures through our Third Party web interface you will benefit from the following: - before publishing the signatures, we will test them for false positives against our false positive file collection. - before publishing the signatures, we'll verify that the latest two major versions of ClamAV can load them correctly. - the signatures will be digitally signed and packaged into a single .cvd compressed file. - there will be no ".UNOFFICIAL" suffix in the detection names. - a custom prefix will be added to the detection names, identifying the organization which published the signature. - updates will be distributed both as full CVD files and cdiff incremental updates. Users will benefit from lower network traffic. - the .cvd and .cdiff files will be distributed through the ClamAV mirror network. - the service should result in faster remediation of false positives. - ClamAV users will be able to download the third party databases using freshclam, by adding a single line to freshclam.conf, what should make signature maintenance significantly easier. The service is still in beta, you are welcome to contact Luca Gibelli &lt;luca*clamav.net&gt; if you intend to join the beta program. We especially welcome those who already distribute their own unofficial signatures to join. A list of databases distributed by the new service will be available at http://www.clamav.net/download/cvd/3rdparty We will be happy to answer any questions you might have. </pre> Luca Gibelli 2011-07-25T16:09:53 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.virus.clamav.announce/145 <pre> Dear ClamAV users, This is a bugfix release recommended for all users.

As a result, these versions may generate incorrect detections, leading to false positive alerts. If you're running one of these releases, we strongly advise to upgrade it.

This update apparently caused a segmentation fault in all ClamAV versions older than 0.96 on 32 bit systems. We just released daily.cvd 10939 which removes the faulty signature and we have taken measures to ensure that this problem won't happen again. We recommend using a monitor tool like clamdwatch or clamdmon to automatically restart clamd whenever it dies. If you are already using a similar solution, your clamd will be restarted automatically as soon as freshclam downloads the daily.cvd 10939 update. We apologise for the inconvenience. Regards, </pre> Luca Gibelli 2010-05-07T11:06:56 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.virus.clamav.announce/133 <pre> Dear ClamAV users, this is a reminder that starting from 15 April 2010 our CVD will contain a special signature which disables all clamd installations older than 0.95 - that is to say older than 1 year. We would like to keep on supporting all old versions of our engine, but unfortunately this is no longer possible without causing a disservice to people running a recent release of ClamAV. For more information please refer to the original announcement: http://lists.clamav.net/lurker/message/20091006.143601.d27bbd20.en.html Regards, </pre> Luca Gibelli 2010-04-07T14:11:09 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.virus.clamav.announce/132 <pre> Dear ClamAV users, ClamAV 0.96 introduces new malware detection mechanisms and other significant improvements to the scan engine. The key features of ClamAV 0.96rc2 include: - The Bytecode Interpreter: the interpreter built into LibClamAV allows the signature writers to create and distribute very complex detection routines and remotely enhance the scanner's functionality - Heuristic improvements: improve the PE heuristics detection engine by adding support of bogus icons and fake PE header information. In a nutshell, ClamAV can now detect malware that tries to disguise itself as a harmless application by using the most common Windows program icons. - Signature Improvements: logical signature improvements to allow more detailed matching and referencing groups of signatures. Additionally, improvements to wildcard matching on word boundaries and newlines. - Support for new archives: 7zip, InstallShield and CPIO. LibClamAV can now transparently unpack and inspect their contents. - Support for new executable file formats: 64-bit ELF files and OS X Universal Binaries with Mach-O files. Additionally, the PE module can now decompress and inspect executables packed with UPX 3.0. - Support for DazukoFS in clamd - Performance improvements: overall performance improvements and memory optimizations for a better overall resource utilization experience. - Native Windows Support: ClamAV will now build natively under Visual Studio. This will allow 3rd Party application developers on Windows to easily integrate LibClamAV into their applications. The complete list of changes is available in the ChangeLog file.

Preliminary means that, at this point, all the libraries and the tools are verified to build without errors, to execute and to pass basic checks like loading and updating the database, detection of test files, etc. The code was however not tested in a production environment. We encourage all the interested users to try the software and report bugs on our bugzilla. As usual, the more the testing, the quicker the bugs get uncovered and fixed. Feel also free to open feature enhancement requests, especially if you can provide a working patch. As soon as the code will prove stable, it will be also included in the ClamAV for Windows software to augment the scan effectiveness and to allow offline virus scanning. If you wish to try ClamAV 0.96-rc2 on windows you can build it from sources (see win32/README for details) or you can use the binaries found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamav/files/clamav/win32/ _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-announce </pre> aCaB 2010-03-26T17:31:12 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.virus.clamav.announce/130 <pre>Dear ClamAV users, this is the second release candidate for ClamAV 0.96.
