Package: clamtk
Version: 4.36-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I would like to scan a single file. According to the man page,
clamtk accepts a filename as an argument:
"ClamTk accepts a file or directory so that a user can
right-click on a file or directory and send it to be scanned."
In fact, this doesn't work: If I open a virus file in clamtk via
nautilus, it is not scanned, but there is no error message. clamtk
just reports it's successful start, this might be misleading
people to think that there is no virus.
The log file reports:
"ClamTk, v4.36
Wed Feb 15 12:49:36 2012
ClamAV-Signaturen: 1141675
Untersuchte Verzeichnisse:
0 wahrscheinlich infizierte Bedrohungen gefunden (0 Dateien
untersucht).
Keine Bedrohungen gefunden."
I.E. zero files scanned, zero threats found. The menu-based
feedback doesn't report a threat either. A normal user might
not notice that zero files have been scanned.
If I open the same file from clamtk's own file dialog, it finds
the virus:
"ClamTk, v4.36
Wed Feb 15 12:43:17 2012
ClamAV-Signaturen: 1141675
Untersuchte Verzeichnisse:
/home/mbelow/.cache/evolution/tmp/evolution-mbelow-S0PILH
1 wahrscheinlich infizierte Bedrohung gefunden (1 Datei
untersucht).
/home/mbelow/.cache/evolution/tmp/evolution-mbelow-S0PILH/DHL_Express_Shipment_POST_ORDER_ID7GLA9SG2.zip
Suspect.Bredozip-zippwd-2 "
I.E. one probable infection found.
This is a dangerous bug, because people tend to trust the
"success" messages and not read the details. clamtk should scan
files passed as arguments. If that isn't possible, it should report
a warning if it has been called with an argument ("Warning:
arguments found, possibly file names. clamtk doesn't evaluate
files from command line. Please choose the files in the clamtk
file dialog"). And the manpage should be fixed accordingly.
Thanks for your work.
Michael Below
