-Here are the new features and improvements in ClamAV 0.98.2: |
|
| 4 |
+ClamAV 0.98.4 is a bug fix release. The following issues are now resolved: |
|
| 5 | 5 |
|
| 6 |
- - Support for common raw disk image formats using 512 byte sectors, |
|
| 7 |
- specifically GPT, APM, and MBR partitioning. |
|
| 6 |
+ - Various build problems on Solaris, OpenBSD, AIX. |
|
| 8 | 7 |
|
| 9 |
- - Experimental support of OpenIOC files. ClamAV will now extract file |
|
| 10 |
- hashes from OpenIOC files residing in the signature database location, |
|
| 11 |
- and generate ClamAV hash signatures. ClamAV uses no other OpenIOC |
|
| 12 |
- features at this time. No OpenIOC files will be delivered through |
|
| 13 |
- freshclam. See openioc.org and iocbucket.com for additional information |
|
| 14 |
- about OpenIOC. |
|
| 8 |
+ - Crashes of clamd on Windows and Mac OS X platforms when reloading |
|
| 9 |
+ the virus signature database. |
|
| 15 | 10 |
|
| 16 |
- - All ClamAV sockets (clamd, freshclam, clamav-milter, clamdscan, clamdtop) |
|
| 17 |
- now support IPV6 addresses and configuration parameters. |
|
| 11 |
+ - Infinite loop in clamdscan when clamd is not running. |
|
| 18 | 12 |
|
| 19 |
- - Use OpenSSL file hash functions for improved performance. OpenSSL |
|
| 20 |
- is now prerequisite software for ClamAV 0.98.2. |
|
| 13 |
+ - Freshclam failure on Solaris 10. |
|
| 21 | 14 |
|
| 22 |
- - Improved detection of malware scripts within image files. Issue reported |
|
| 23 |
- by Maarten Broekman. |
|
| 15 |
+ - Buffer underruns when handling multi-part MIME email attachments. |
|
| 24 | 16 |
|
| 25 |
- - Change to circumvent possible denial of service when processing icons within |
|
| 26 |
- specially crafted PE files. Icon limits are now in place with corresponding |
|
| 27 |
- clamd and clamscan configuration parameters. This issue was reported by |
|
| 28 |
- Joxean Koret. |
|
| 29 |
- |
|
| 30 |
- - Improvements to the fidelity of the ClamAV pattern matcher, an issue |
|
| 31 |
- reported by Christian Blichmann. |
|
| 32 |
- |
|
| 33 |
- - Opt-in collection of statistics. Statistics collected are: sizes and MD5 |
|
| 34 |
- hashes of files, PE file section counts and section MD5 hashes, and names |
|
| 35 |
- and counts of detected viruses. Enable statistics collection with the |
|
| 36 |
- --enable-stats clamscan flag or StatsEnabled clamd configuration |
|
| 37 |
- parameter. |
|
| 38 |
- |
|
| 39 |
- - Improvements to ClamAV build process, unit tests, and platform support with |
|
| 40 |
- assistance and suggestions by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, Scott Kitterman, |
|
| 41 |
- and Dave Simonson. |
|
| 42 |
- |
|
| 43 |
- - Patch by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz to improve error handling in freshclam. |
|
| 44 |
