Hi Zvi. If you can, please report the file which causes a crash to us by following the instructions in our security reporting policy: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/security/policy
Sadly there is no process sandboxing in clamscan at this time which could catch a crash and then skip to the next file or skip it next time the file is scanned. It is a difficult thing to implement, particularly in a cross platform way. We actually have a prototype for it, but have been unable to complete it due to competing priorities and limited developer time. Respectfully, Val Valerie Snyder (she/they) ClamAV Development Talos Cisco Systems, Inc. ________________________________ From: clamav-users <[email protected]> on behalf of Zvi Kave via clamav-users <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 1, 2026 8:59 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: Zvi Kave <[email protected]> Subject: [clamav-users] Scan next file on segmentation fault in clamscan Hi, I have crash with segmentation fault in very rare container mail file when using clamscan. Did someone prepare in manager.c code a way to skip to next file in this case? Regards, Zvi
