Name : clamav Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 0.99 Release : 3.el5 URL : http://www.clamav.net/ Summary : Anti-virus software Description : Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet.
The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software. Most importantly, the virus database is kept up to date
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
ClamAV 0.99 contains major new features and changes. YARA rules, Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, revamped on-access scanning for Linux, and other new features join the many great features of ClamAV: - Processing of YARA rules (some limitations - see signatures.pdf). - Support in ClamAV logical signatures for many of the features added for YARA, such as Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, alternate strings, and YARA string attributes. See signatures.pdf for full details. - New and improved on-access scanning for Linux. See the recent blog post and clamdoc.pdf for details on the new on-access capabilities. - A new ClamAV API callback function that is invoked when a virus is found. This is intended primarily for applications running in all-match mode. Any applications using all-match mode must use the new callback function to record and report detected viruses. - Configurable default password list to attempt zip file decryption. - TIFF file support. - A new signature target type for designating signatures to run against files with unknown file types. - Improved fidelity of the "data loss prevention" heuristic algorithm. Code supplied by Bill Parker. - Support for LZMA decompression within Adobe Flash files. - Support for MSO attachments within Microsoft Office 2003 XML files. - A new sigtool option(--ascii-normalize) allowing signature authors to more easily generate normalized versions of ascii files. Please note: If you are using clamd on-access scanning or have applications using all-match mode, you will want to review the changes and make any necessary adjustments before using ClamAV 0.99. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
