Changes from 0.99.1 to 0.99.2 are available only with ChangeLog and it
is too many to write here. Please refer ChangeLog file.
0.99.1
------
ClamAV 0.99.1 contains a new feature for parsing Hancom Office files
including extracting and scanning embedded objects. ClamAV 0.99.1
also contains important bug fixes. Please see ChangeLog for details.
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.
- Upgrade Windows pthread library to 2.9.1.
- 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.
- Windows installation directories changed from \Program Files\Sourcefire\
ClamAV to \Program Files\ClamAV or \Program Files\ClamAV-x64.
Problems found locating distfiles:
Package f-prot-antivirus6-fs-bin: missing distfile fp-NetBSD.x86.32-fs-6.2.3.tar.gz
Package f-prot-antivirus6-ws-bin: missing distfile fp-NetBSD.x86.32-ws-6.2.3.tar.gz

- Various build problems on Solaris, OpenBSD, AIX.
- Crashes of clamd on Windows and Mac OS X platforms when reloading the virus signature database.
- Infinite loop in clamdscan when clamd is not running.
- Freshclam failure on Solaris 10.
- Buffer underruns when handling multi-part MIME email attachments.
- Configuration of OpenSSL on various platforms.
- Name collisions on Ubuntu 14.04, Debian sid, and Slackware 14.1.
- Linking issues with libclamunrar
- Support for common raw disk image formats using 512 byte sectors,
specifically GPT, APM, and MBR partitioning.
- Experimental support of OpenIOC files. ClamAV will now extract file
hashes from OpenIOC files residing in the signature database location,
and generate ClamAV hash signatures. ClamAV uses no other OpenIOC
features at this time. No OpenIOC files will be delivered through
freshclam. See openioc.org and iocbucket.com for additional information
about OpenIOC.
- All ClamAV sockets (clamd, freshclam, clamav-milter, clamdscan, clamdtop)
now support IPV6 addresses and configuration parameters.
- Use OpenSSL file hash functions for improved performance. OpenSSL
is now prerequisite software for ClamAV 0.98.3.
- Improved detection of malware scripts within image files. Issue reported
by Maarten Broekman.
- Change to circumvent possible denial of service when processing icons within
specially crafted PE files. Icon limits are now in place with corresponding
clamd and clamscan configuration parameters. This issue was reported by
Joxean Koret.
- Improvements to the fidelity of the ClamAV pattern matcher, an issue
reported by Christian Blichmann.
- Opt-in collection of statistics. Statistics collected are: sizes and MD5
hashes of files, PE file section counts and section MD5 hashes, and names
and counts of detected viruses. Enable statistics collection with the
--enable-stats clamscan flag or StatsEnabled clamd configuration
parameter.
- Improvements to ClamAV build process, unit tests, and platform support with
assistance and suggestions by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, Scott Kitterman,
and Dave Simonson.
- Patch by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz to improve error handling in freshclam.
- ClamAV 0.98.3 also includes miscellaneous bug fixes and documentation
improvements.
quality improvements. These include:
- Extraction, decompression, and scanning of files within Apple Disk Image (DMG) format.
- Extraction, decompression, and scanning of files within Extensible Archive (XAR) format.
XAR format is commonly used for software packaging, such as PKG and RPM, as well as
general archival.
- Decompression and scanning of files in "Xz" compression format.
- Improvements and fixes to extraction and scanning of ole formats.
- Option to force all scanned data to disk. This impacts only a few file types where
some embedded content is normally scanned in memory. Enabling this option
ensures that a file descriptor exists when callback functions are used, at a small
performance cost. This should only be needed when callback functions are used
that need file access.
- Various improvements to ClamAV configuration, support of third party libraries,
and unit tests.
* libclamav: Scan output at end of truncated tar
* libclamav: Fix handling of tar file with malformed header
* libclamav: Scan chm with invalid handling
* freshclam: give custom dbs higher priority during update
* libclamav: detect read races and abort the scan with an error
* libclamav/pe.c: drop old header check
freshclam/manager.c: fix error when compiling without DNS support (bb#3056)
libclamav/pdf.c: flag and dump PDF objects with /Launch (bb #3514)
libclamav/bytecode.c,bytecode_api.c: fix recursion level crash
ClamAV 0.97.2 fixes problems with the bytecode engine, Safebrowsing detection,
hash matcher, and other minor issues. Please see the ChangeLog file for
details.
ClamAV 0.97 brings many improvements, including complete Windows support
(all major components compile out-of-box under Visual Studio), support for
signatures based on SHA1 and SHA256, better error detection, as well as
speed and memory optimizations. The complete list of changes is available
in the ChangeLog file.
