Version 4.5.4 is a bugfix release.
Fixed a string error in the updater.
Fixed a race condition in f-protd where f-protd would report
'Bad file number' on accept() under high loads.
Fixed a crash issue with malformed word macros.
Fixed a memory corruption in the x86 emulation code.
Modified check-updates.pl to automatically detect f-prot version number.
This addresses PR#29271.
Changes include:
Version 4.5.3 adds a new commandline switch to f-protd, '-fullreport'
and new possible summary codes (see man page for details).
Version 4.5.2 is a bugfix release; f-protd would misidentify .pdf files
and block them from being delivered.
Version 4.5.1 is a bugfix release to fix a bug in scan-mail.pl where
scan-mail.pl would exit after first scan request on some unix platforms,
because of differing signal mechanism between BSD and SysV
Version 4.5.0 contains various bugfixes and improvements to the
documentation and software.
o check-updates.pl has been modified. It now identifies itself with a
unique user-agent string containing information on OS, kernel and
architecture.
o contains a major overhaul of the virus scanning engine
(new engine version 3.16.1). These changes improve its
detection capabilities. The engine can now better detect and
handle executable packers, often used by malware authors to conceal
malicious code.
o includes a more generic JPEG GDI+ exploit detection
o includes EMF/WMF image format exploit detection
o encrypted executables inside archives are now reported as
"could be a suspicious file (encrypted program in archive)",
previously reported as "could be a security risk".
o The argument switch "-archive" has been changed to support the form
"-archive=n" where n is a non-negative integer. This causes f-prot
to scan only n levels deep into nested archives of supported types in
order to protect against 'arhcive-bombs'.
The old form "-archive" is still supported, although depreciated, and
implies n==5. See the man page for details.
o Minor modifications in the DTD for the f-prot daemon XML.
o Bugfix where f-prot would return IO_ERROR when attempting to scan
unsupported partial archive files, e.g. .z01 files
o Improved RAR support. F-Prot fully supports rar versions 1.5, 2.0 and
2.6 and partially supports rar 2.9 (doesn't support RAR Virtual
Machine and the PPM model features)
various bugfixes and improvements to the documentation and software.
o Detection for new emf exploits added.
o A critical bug fixed in scan-mail.pl.
o Detection of JPG exploits has been added.
o A file descriptor leak has been fixed in f-protd.
o A minor bug in f-protd related to CPU hogging under certain
conditions has been fixed.
o A log level has been added (further information can be found in
the man pages).
o install-f-prot.pl will automatically run check-updates.pl
(Note, if you are manually installing from tar.gz this is
not automated and you will have out of date virus signature
files - in which case, make sure you run check-updates.pl
manually).
Addresses PR#27254
Version 4.4.7 contains various bugfixes and improvements to the
documentation and software.
o A critical bug fixed in scan-mail.pl.
o Detection of JPG exploits has been added.
o A file descriptor leak has been fixed in f-protd.
o A minor bug in f-protd related to CPU hogging under certain
conditions has been fixed.

the man pages).
* change ${PREFIX}/lib to ${PREFIX}/libexec (like uvscan)
* change ${PREFIX}/share/doc/html to ${PREFIX}/share/doc
* change ${SED} to SUBST framework
* add DIST_SUBDIR because distfile changed without name change
* add SUPPORT_FILES from PKGINSTALL framework
* add patch-aa to deal with NetBSD mkdir() behavior, specifically the new
directory argument may not have a trailing backslash.
- Drop the DIST_SUBDIR needed when previous version of the distfile
changed without a version change.
- Neaten up DISTNAME generation a little.
Package changes include:
o A critical virtual memory bug has been fixed in f-prot-milter.
o We have moved all installation instructions into the HTML documentation
doc_{ms|fs|ws} and have removed the INSTALL file.

o We have obfuscated some of the test-case results in Anomy using simple
rot13 to prevent false positives of the f-prot archive.
o Minor improvement of MIME handling.
o Further enhancements of scanning password encrypted zip files.
o Minor bug-fixes in the F-Prot daemon.
