Has anyone else seen a false positive from ClamAV, as a result of the August 24 
signature update when the signature Txt.Coinminer.Generic-7132166-0 was added ?

Specifically, we are seeing ClamAV think that CoinMiner virus exists in a 
cleartext file on Linux, even though CoinMiner is an executable virus attacking 
Windows.  The file causing the false positive is the /var/log/sid_changes.log 
file, which is the text log file written by PulledPork when it updates Snort 
IDS signatures. I would imagine anyone running Snort, PulledPork and ClamAV on 
the same Linux machine would see this false positive.

I submitted a false positive to ClamAV yesterday, but it may be that whatever 
pattern that virus signature is looking for is too simplistic.
