ClamAV 1.3.0-rc2

on GitHub

ClamAV 1.3.0 includes the following improvements and changes:

Major changes

• Added support for extracting and scanning attachments found in Microsoft
  OneNote section files.
  OneNote parsing will be enabled by default, but may be optionally disabled
  using one of the following options:
  a. The clamscan command line option: --scan-onenote=no,
  b. The clamd.conf config option: ScanOneNote no,
  c. The libclamav scan option options.parse &= ~CL_SCAN_PARSE_ONENOTE;,
  d. A signature change to the daily.cfg dynamic configuration (DCONF).

• ClamD: When starting, ClamD will now check if the directory specified by
  TemporaryDirectory in clamd.conf exists. If it doesn't, ClamD
  will print an error message and will exit with exit code 1.

• CMake: If configured to build static libraries, CMake will now also
  install the libclamav_rust, libclammspack, libclamunrar_iface, and
  libclamunrar static libraries required by libclamav.

  Note: These libraries are all linked into the clamscan, clamd, sigtool,
  and freshclam programs, which is why they did not need to be installed
  to function. However, these libraries would be required if you wish to
  build some other program that uses the libclamav static library.

• Added file type recognition for compiled Python (.pyc) files.
  The file type appears as a string parameter for these callback functions:

  • clcb_pre_cache
  • clcb_pre_scan
  • clcb_file_inspection
    When scanning a .pyc file, the type parameter will now show
    "CL_TYPE_PYTHON_COMPILED" instead of "CL_TYPE_BINARY_DATA".
