Re: [Clamav-devel] OSX resource forks

[Mark Allan]

Hi Gavin (and list),
I'm nearly finished a GUI for Clamav, the only thing I really have left 
to do is stress testing and documentation.

I've made a few changes to the source code which I plan to release in 
due course, in order to make it work with resource forkshowever, 
like you, I don't have access to any test viruses.  The closest I got 
was about 4 years ago when I actually got a virus, but "Disinfectant" 
took care of that for me.  Bit annoying now though, I could do with 
having it back!!!

I hope to have my program available to others by the end of this week.  
I'll keep you posted if you like?

Also, it's not completely useless for Mac users just cos it didn't scan 
resource forks.  I still get emails from windoze-using friends 
containing viruses (the emails, not the friends!) so it's worthwhile 
checking my attachments folder if not for my own peace of mind, then at 
least I can tell my friends they need to update their virus checker.

Anyway, I'm wasting coding/testing time here!!

I have been testing clamav on OSX and noticed that it does not scan Mac

Re: [Clamav-devel] OSX resource forks

[Mark Allan]

Hey there, sorry it's been a while since I last said anything about 
clamav for OS X.  I've had the flu and the computer was the very last 
thing on my mind!

That said, I did find this website with an archive of old-style Mac 
viruses.  It's by no means exhaustive and doesn't even have a copy of 
sevendust (the one which bit me a few years ago!), but it's a good 
place to start: http://freaky.staticusers.net/virus.shtml

Checking resource forks *is* as simple as scanning filename/rsrc...but 
seeing as we don't have the definitions in a database yet, I can't tell 
if it works or not!  Might it be worth maintaining a separate database 
for Mac resource fork definitions, or would that start to get overly 
complicated?

One other thing, I'm completely devoid of any artistic ability and 
desperately need an icon for my program.  Does anyone out there have 
any skills they could put to use on creating an icon for me please?  I 
was considering taking the one from the clamav.net web page, but it'd 
feel wrong just to pinch it!!  I've called my app clamXav, so was 
thinking about the following (with the X being the aqua X from the Mac 
OS X logo):
	clamshell X syringe
Rubbish, eh?  I don't actually have any requirements except that it 
obviously needs to convey what the app does!

Anyway, if anybody can help out, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks

Re: [Clamav-devel] OSX resource forks

[Mark Allan]

Ah - now that's useful. I guess with that we could start egtting some
definitions worked out. I'll look into it. Can you post your source 
code so
we can test?
It's nothing impressive at all just a nasty hack really!  Also I've 
only been working with version 7.0 so probably easier just to explain 
what I did.  In clamav-0.70/clamscan/manager.c's checkfile method, in 
between the "close" and "return" statements I created a new string by 
concatenating "filename" and "/rsrc" and then called "checkfile" with 
the new filename (assuming "filename" didn't already have "/rsrc" on 
the end!)  It seemed to work but was throwing up some peculiarities 
with my GUI, must've been REALLY inefficient and obviously wasn't 
picking up any resource fork viruses (yet) anyway, so I took it out 
again.

Might it be worth maintaining a separate database
for Mac resource fork definitions, or would that start to get overly
complicated?
My two cents - I would think it should be in the main db?
Makes sense to me too.  Is anyone else reading this thread who could 
forsee a problem with either of these?

[Clamav-devel] clamXav available now (Mac OS X)

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,
I've finally bitten the bullet and released my clamav GUI for Mac OS X.
It's called clamXav, and you can download it from 
http://www.markallan.co.uk/clamXav_v0.8b.zip or from the program info 
page at http://www.markallan.co.uk/clamXav (no trailing slash please, 
it messes up my redirection to the real page!)

As I say when you run the application, having a standard build of 
clamav installed is not sufficient to run my GUI, purely because of the 
changes I made to the source code (see previous emails titled OS X 
resource forks).  With clamXav, I've distributed a pre-built binary 
which includes my modifications but I've also included instructions for 
users telling them where to download the source from clamav.net and how 
to patch it themselves with my mods if they'd prefer.

From what I understand, this is in-keeping with the GPL.  If it's not, 
please let me know so that I can change things.  However, if I'm not 
allowed to do it this way, then I'll need some time to apply my patches 
to the main clamav source tree and I don't know how the changes will 
affect others.  Obviously, having my patches officially in the main 
source code would be preferable, but I don't know how to go about this.

Currently, it's only a front end to clamscan and freshclam, but I may 
extend this to the other programs in the clamav suite in due course if 
there are enough requestsI'll have to figure out what the other 
parts do first though!! ;-)

Ideally, I'd like to be able to say "watch this folder and scan any new 
items".  Does that function exist yet or do I have to fiddle around 
with AppleScript and FolderActions?

Anyway, I'd appreciate it if any OS X users on this list would download 
clamXav and try it please.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Mark

My patches were only mere hacks in order to get it to work with my GUI. 
 However, I've been in touch with the Fink maintainer for clamav on OS

he'd send the patch in.

AFAIK, he hasn't sent it in yet.  It was only this morning he stopped

[Clamav-devel] Option for dummy scan? Option to skip specific file?

[Mark Allan]

Hi,
I'm developing clamXav (clamav GUI for Mac OS X) and I was wondering 
two things:

Firstly, could we add an option for a "dummy" scan?  What I mean is to 
have clamscan goes through the process of what it would normally do, 
but not actually perform any scanning?  Basically what I'm after is a 
total number of files/directories to be scanned (un-archiving wouldn't 
be necessary) so that I can provide a progress indicator.

Secondly, is there any option to skip a specific file once it has 
started being scanned?  I know clamscan isn't really designed to be 
interactive, but a key-stroke could allow the user to avoid scanning a 
file which appears to be taking forever.  Maybe control-D or control-X 
or something could abort the current file and just move on to the next 
file due to be scanned.

Any thoughts?
Mark

[Clamav-devel] Patch for OSX resource fork moving (not scanning)

[Mark Allan]

Hi,
I have a patch here which adds support for moving Mac files containing 
resource forks.  It came from Remi Mommsen who is the fink maintainer 
for the Mac OS X version of clamav but I've tested it extensively and 
can fairly safely say it works properly on Mac OS X.  I can not, 
however, vouch for how it affects other build targets.

In its current incarnation, clamscan will strip out the Mac OS resource 
fork from an infected file which can cause many many problems on a Mac. 
 This patch will use 'ditto' to copy the entire file including resource 
forks.

Right, stupid mistake. Can you (or whoever will eventually commit the 
patch) add it, please?

The dummy statement is unfortunately needed. Maybe it will be solved 
by one of the next gcc versions, but Xtools 1.3 and 1.5 both optimize 
it such that 'if( system(ditto) )' always evaluates to true, i.e. the 
copy fails. I guess I should submit a bug report, but haven't had time 
yet )-;

[Clamav-devel] clamscan and symlinks

[Mark Allan]

Hi,
What are the overheads involved in determining if a file is a 
symlink/hardlink and is there a way to tell clamscan not to follow 
them?

Mac OS X contains a directory called /Volumes at the root level of the 
boot volume which in itself isn't a problem, but for some reason best 
known to Apple they decided to include a symlink to /  inside there and 
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you the problems this causes when 
you call clamscan on the root directory!

I've tried calling clamscan with --exclude=^/Volumes however it still 
seems to iterate through the directory (albeit without scanning) and 
still doesn't ever actually come to a halt.

Could we do something along the lines of what's been done in 
"/clamscan/manager.c" where /proc is excluded for LINUX?

[Clamav-devel] Complex Regular Expressions

Having searched the archives to the best of my abilities, I can't

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about; only simple/basic regexps  
are supported.  In order to use a complex regex, I have needed to  
change the following in clamav-0.85.1/clamscan/others.c


line 126 from:
flags = 0;
to
flags = REG_EXTENDED;

Without it, I can't even use simple RE constructs like pipe!

[Clamav-devel] Vulnerability with using ditto on OS X

[Mark Allan]

As there is no date to show when this article was written, I'm not  
sure if it takes into account 0.85.1  Can anyone comment?


http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13795/discussion/

Thanks,
Mark


Article contents:

Clam Anti-Virus ClamAV running on Mac OS X is affected by a command  
execution vulnerability.


Reportedly, when a suspected infected file is handled by the  
application and it cannot be removed, the application may attempt to  
copy it to another location using the Mac OS X 'ditto' utility. The  
'ditto' utility is called in an insecure manner and the responsible  
function fails to sanitize the file name allowing an attacker to  
include arbitrary commands in the file name that will be executed in  
the context of ClamAV.


This can allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to an affected  
computer. It should be noted that the exploitation of vulnerability  
is only possible when a malicious file is copied.


ClamAV versions 0.80rc4 to 0.84rc2 to are affected by this issue.

[Clamav-devel] Building as Universal on OS X 10.4

[Mark Allan]

Hi folks,

Every time a new release comes out, I have to faff around to get it  
to build universal binaries on Mac OS X 10.4 ie. a binary which runs  
on PowerPC and Intel processor Macs.  The following is what I do, is  
there any way that this process (with the exception of steps 1 and 4  
obviously) could be incorporated into the Makefile please?


1. Run configure as follows:

CFLAGS="-O -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 - 
arch ppc" ./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr/ 
local/clamXav


2. Edit clamav-config.h and change:
#define WORDS_BIGENDIAN whatever
to
#define WORDS_BIGENDIAN (defined(__BIG_ENDIAN__) && __BIG_ENDIAN__)

3. Edit libtool (the generated shell script) and change:
archive_cmds="\$nonopt \$(test \\\"x\$module\\\" = xyes && echo - 
bundle || echo -dynamiclib) \$allow_undefined_flag -o \$lib \$libobjs  
\$deplibs\$linker_flags -install_name \$rpath/\$soname \$verstring"


to:

archive_cmds="\$nonopt \$(test \\\"x\$module\\\" = xyes && echo - 
bundle || echo -dynamiclib) \$allow_undefined_flag -o \$lib \$libobjs  
\$deplibs -arch ppc -arch i386 -Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/ 
MacOSX10.4u.sdk \$linker_flags -install_name \$rpath/\$soname \ 
$verstring"


4. make


From what I can tell, the libtool stuff in particular is not passing  
through LDFLAGS.


Sadly I don't know enough to make this change myself and post a  
patch, so would be very grateful if someone else could find the time  
to do so please.


Many thanks,

Mark Allan

[Clamav-devel] Using clamd with --exclude or --include settings

[Mark Allan]

Hi,

Is there a reason for clamd not supporting the include, exclude and  
exclude-dir options?  I've tried adding them as switches to clamdscan  
but I get a message back saying:

WARNING: Ignoring option --exclude: please edit clamd.conf instead

So I then tried editing clamd.conf but can see no option for include/ 
exclude (other than clamuko which can't be used).  Simply adding  
"exclude PATTERN" to clamd.conf doesn't work either as I then get the  
following error when I launch clamd:

ERROR: Parse error at line 6: Unknown option exclude.
ERROR: Can't parse the configuration file.

Have I missed something or does the option just not exist for clamd/ 
clamdscan?  I'd rather not have to use the standalone clamscan if I  
can help it, especially since v0.90 added support for MP.


Many thanks

[Clamav-devel] Configure patch for OS X 10.5 Leopard

[Mark Allan]

Hi folks,

Here's a patch to allow ClamAV to configure properly on Mac OS X  
10.5.  The nidump tool was deprecated a long time ago and is no longer  
included in 10.5 as netinfo doesn't exist any more.  The dscl tool is  
the preferred method from at least 10.3 onwards.  Unfortunately I  
don't have any machines with 10.2 on which I can test to see if it  
works there too.

The patch is against the release version of ClamAV 0.92 and doesn't  
check which Mac OS version is in use, I've simply replaced the nidump  
call with the correct dscl call.  FWIW, 10.2 is almost 6 years old now  
so I doubt very much if anyone is still running it.

The second part of the patch delays endian checking until compile-time  
to permit cross-compiling for PPC and i386 architectures within the  
same binaries.

I think this way would be much better than changing the interface, and  
would have the added benefit of being significantly more powerful than  
you probably realise.  If we could supply a list of files either on  
stdin or within a single text file passed on the command line with eg.  
a -f flag, users and admins could incorporate ClamAV into scripts/ 
tasks and automated jobs a lot more easily than is currently  
possible.  It would also eliminate another issue I've had to work  
around which is the lack of case-insensitive regex matching - I could  
perform my own matching and just supply filenames within a temporary  
file or via stdin.

Indeed.  I don't think anyone's suggesting that the existing  
functionality be removed.

In my opinion, that would be an ideal solution.

The problem isn't with changing the interface, the problem is that  
your solution doesn't actually change the interface, it changes the  
implementation - you've just placed extra importance on the order of  
the items, which wasn't there before.  This could have the subtle  
effect of still appearing to work, but no longer doing what the user  
expected.  Files which should be scanned may end up getting missed and  
the user might not realise.  If the interface actually changes, then  
that's not such a big deal as it will simply and very obviously break  
any existing procedures a user has set up, and they'll have no choice  
but to change how they work.

[Clamav-devel] Adding targets for the bytecode interpreter

[Mark Allan]

Hi there,

I'm sending this to clamav-devel rather than clamav-users as I suspect  
I may have missed something during the configure/compile phase rather  
than at runtime.  If I'm wrong, I'll happily repost to the -users list.


I maintain a distribution of ClamAV for Mac OS X and have to generate  
a build which runs on both PPC and Intel architectures for the three  
most recent major releases of OS X.  I achieve this by using the  
following settings for the configure phase (after applying the  
appropriate patch for 0.96 clamd on PPC):


bash$ CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2" CXX="/usr/bin/g++-4.2" CFLAGS="-O2 -g - 
D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -isysroot /Developer/ 
SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc"  CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g - 
D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -isysroot /Developer/ 
SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc" ./configure --disable- 
dependency-tracking  --enable-llvm --enable-clamdtop --with- 
user=_clamav --with-group=_clamav


When I run clamscan on the same PPC machine I use for building it,  
everything runs fine, however, when I copy the build over to a machine  
with an Intel processor, I get the following warning about there not  
being any available targets.


libclamav JIT: error creating execution engine: No available targets  
are compatible with this triple, see -version for the available  
targets



When I run clambc to see which targets are available, I get the  
following:



bash$ ./clambc --version
Clam AntiVirus Bytecode Testing Tool 0.96
Low Level Virtual Machine (http://llvm.org/):
 llvm version 2.7
 Optimized build with assertions.
 Built May  9 2010 (01:15:14).
 Host: i386-apple-darwin10
 Host CPU: penryn

 Registered Targets:
   ppc32 - PowerPC 32
   ppc64 - PowerPC 64


If I do the configure and compile on the Intel machine, it gives the  
following targets

Registered Targets:
x86- 32-bit X86: Pentium-Pro and above
x86-64 - 64-bit X86: EM64T and AMD64


Predictably it then gives the same error message as earlier when I  
copy it over to the PowerPC machine.


Could someone tell me how to register both PPC and x86 targets please?

On a related note, I'm intrigued to know how it managed to register 64  
bit targets when I only specified 32bit architectures in the configure  
script.  I'm guessing that means there's some assumptions being made  
during the compile phase.  If so, how can I override them?


Many thanks

Re: [Clamav-devel] Introducing OpenSSL as a dependency to ClamAV

[Mark Allan]

Looks like relying on OpenSSL might cause problems for ClamAV on OS X.

Al (a regular contributor to this list) pointed me towards the following blog 
post

https://hynek.me/articles/apple-openssl-verification-surprises/

It explains some of the problems with Apple's installation of OpenSSL, and 
offers some workarounds.  Relying on homebrew or MacPorts isn't an option for 
me because I produce compiled pre-packaged installers for ClamAV on OS X; I 
provide these to the general public, so have to expect users to be running the 
standard Apple-supplied OpenSSL.

Can I ask you to consider one of the two code-level solutions proposed in that 
blog post please?  Presumably it would have to be implemented as a configure 
flag rather than for all Mac builds as I suspect some of the more advanced 
ClamAV users out there *will* have compiled their own OpenSSL.

Thanks

 I can confirm that the update from xcode 5 to 5.1 broke the compilation

Another workaround is to compile with support for older versions of OS X.  I 
routinely compile with support for OSX 10.6+ and was confused when I saw the 
original email as I compiled under 10.9.2 and Xcode 5.1 a couple of days ago 
without any issue.

Here's what I use to configure the build:

CFLAGS="-O2 -g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -arch x86_64" 
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -mmacosx-version-min=10.6  -arch 
x86_64" ./configure --disable-dependency-tracking  --enable-llvm 
--enable-clamdtop --with-user=_clamav --with-group=_clamav 
--enable-all-jit-targets

If I get rid of mmacosx-version flag, the build fails.  If I set it to any 
valid value (e.g. 10.8), it works.

Re: [Clamav-devel] enabling DMG and XAR support

[Mark Allan]

Just out of interest, did you test to see if it *actually* worked?

My configure output shows that dmg and xar are supported, but it doesn't 
actually detect the Eicar test file within a disk image.

configure: Summary of engine detection features
  autoit_ea06 : yes
  bzip2   : ok
  zlib: /usr
  unrar   : yes
  dmg and xar : yes, from /usr

When I create a new disk image, copy the Eicar test file in, and scan the dmg, 
it shows up as being clean.

Does this work as expected for anyone else?

Re: [Clamav-devel] enabling DMG and XAR support

[Mark Allan]

My test disk is indeed a raw image.  I've also tried read only as well as 
compressed, and nothing gets detected in any of those.

As you say, Disk Utility creates raw images by default, and while some software 
packagers do create UDIF formatted images, I suspect Disk Utility is the most 
common way of making disk images on OS X.

What would be required to provide full DMG support?

Also, is there a similar caveat for xar archives?  I've done a similar test for 
those and they slip by undetected as well.

xar -c -f new.xar DirWithManyKnownDetectedMalwareSamples

clamscan new.xar 
new.xar: OK

Re: [Clamav-devel] enabling DMG and XAR support

Sorry, I'm not sure if you're talking to me or Dale.  If you're talking to me, 
my testing was done two days ago using ClamAV 0.98.1

[Clamav-devel] Release Candidates?

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,

Given the (as yet undisclosed) problems with 0.98.2 and its subsequent pulling, 
and the release of 0.98.3 which followed shortly thereafter and which also 
appears to be problematic for some, might it be worth considering reinstating 
Release Candidates again?

If an announcement had been made either via the blog or this mailing list, it 
would allow people to test and find these issues before they hit the general 
public.

Just a thought.  Not sure what anyone else thinks about this, or why the RC 
announcements/builds stopped in the first place.

Cheers,
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] Release Candidates?

[Mark Allan]

Hi Joel,

I fully understand the frustration of sending out beta/RC builds for testing, 
receiving no feedback, and then getting bug reports *after* release.  It 
happens to me as well, so I simply don't do the RC thing for smaller releases, 
but I do for the bigger updates - and I think including a new reliance on a 3rd 
party library would probably count as a "bigger update".

Now, I know I can checkout the current git code and test that, but I'm 
certainly not going to do that on a regular basis, just on spec that a release 
might be around the corner.

If RCs were to be announced, I would definitely download it to test.  When I 
build ClamAV, I usually do it for distribution, so I currently run my own tests 
against OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9.  I would be happy to include a test 
suite of your own as well.

For what it's worth 'make check' only ever runs 6 tests for me - all 6 pass, 7 
get skipped.  Is there a more thorough integration test I could run for you?

Mark

Compiled and appears to work fine on OS X 10.9 - also compiles fine on 10.10.

For quite a while, there's been a huge number (several hundred) of compiler 
warnings - many ironically generated by code which has a comment alongside 
//silence compiler warning!

Most warnings are about booleans being assigned to themselves, or unused 
variables and parameters.  Would it be of any help to try and remove these or 
would you prefer I just silence the warnings at my end with compiler flags?   
-Wno-self-assign -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unused-variable

[Clamav-devel] Increase in FP for Heuristics.Phishing.Email

[Mark Allan]

Hi,

I'm seeing an increase in instances of false positive reports for emails marked 
as phishing. In particular Heuristics.Phishing.Email.SpoofedDomain.

This is typically showing up in genuine PayPal or eBay emails but I've also 
seen it with genuine emails from credit card suppliers.

These never used to trigger warnings so I'm wondering if something has changed 
recently?

Re: [Clamav-devel] ClamAV® blog: ClamAV 0.99 Release Candidate has been posted!

[Mark Allan]

Hi Joel,

Compiled OK on OS X 10.10.5 using Xcode 6, but I still needed to add the 
"--enable-llvm=no" configure flag to get freshclam to work. The issue 11309 in 
Bugzilla is still open, but the target was 0.99
https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11309

ClamAV will NOT compile on OS X 10.11 with Xcode 7 as Apple doesn't supply 
OpenSSL headers any more.  I also tried using Xcode 6 and the 10.10 SDK 
(passing -sysroot in CFLAGS and CXXFlags) but it still says OpenSSL not found. 
It also fails to find xmlreader.h

OpenSSL binaries are still available, so it's possible to compile on 10.10 and 
run on 10.11, but compilation on OS X 10.11 doesn't appear to be possible any 
more.

Regardless of how ClamAV is compiled, there is also a minor issue with 
freshclam:

Running
freshclam --no-warnings
still prints out a load of warnings
[LibClamAV] cli_loadldb: logical signature for Win.Trojan.ssid16667 
uses PCREs but support is disabled, skipping
...
[LibClamAV] cli_loadldb: logical signature for Win.Trojan.ssid15873

Re: [Clamav-devel] ClamAV(R) blog: ClamAV 0.99 Release Candidate has been posted!

[Mark Allan]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I'm aware of the workarounds - I was merely 
mentioning that they were still required despite the fix being targeted at v0.99

The main reasons for my email were freshclam producing warnings that weren't 
being suppressed with the "--no-warnings" flag (now filed as bugzilla 11411); 
and  to raise awareness of the fact that ClamAV won't compile at all on OS X 
10.11.

On that last note, having spent a chunk of yesterday working on this, I believe 
I have a workaround. It's not ideal, but as a binary package maintainer, it 
sure beats bundling and exporting OpenSSL myself!

First thing is to grab a copy of the OS X 10.10 SDK.
Add the directory /usr/local/include if it doesn't already exist.
Add a symlink in there to the openssl header directory within the 10.10 SDK.

If anyone else reads this message and follows the above instructions, you 
should bear in mind that Apple deprecated OpenSSL in OS X 10.7 (back in 2011) 
and they removed the headers this year, so it stands to reason that in the 
not-to-distant future, the OpenSSL binaries will also be removed from OS X.

[Clamav-devel] ClamAV 0.99 RC 2

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,

I saw the blog post about v0.99 rc 2 and have downloaded it for testing.

It looks like bug 11411 [ https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11411 ] 
is still open, so I decided to download and build PCRE as well.

I initially tried the PCRE2 branch but it wasn't recognised by ClamAV's 
configure script, so I went with the most up-to-date version of PCRE (which is 
currently 8.37) but now configure outputs the following:

configure: WARNING: The installed pcre version may contain a security bug. 
Please upgrade to 8.38 or later: http://www.pcre.org

There is no 8.38 that I can see:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/files/pcre/

Are you just assuming that 8.38 will be coming soon to fix the bug, or is there 
a download somewhere that I'm not seeing?

Thanks
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] ClamAV 0.99 RC 2

Hi Mickey,

Yes, I found details of the exploit after sending my email and assumed it was a 
very low risk for ClamAV users (presumably limited to the downloading of 3rd 
party sigs). Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

I've also now found the RC1 on their FTP site but will stick with the stable 
release.

Cheers

[Clamav-devel] Building ClamAV 0.99 with PCRE support

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,

Are there any recommendations for compilation options on/with pcre?

I've tried several things but can't seem to get the build to work on anything 
other than OS X 10.11.  I never have a problem moving my ClamAV builds between 
machines, but something's going wrong with PCRE support - even when I build 
PCRE on the destination machine, I always end up with the following error from 
clamscan:

LibClamAV Error: cli_pcre_parse: PCRE compilation failed at offset 0: unknown 
option bit(s) set
LibClamAV Error: cli_pcre_build: failed to build pcre regex
ERROR: Database initialization error: Malformed database


Here's a section of the output with --debug on:

LibClamAV debug: Ignoring signature Email.Trojan-417
LibClamAV debug: main.ndb loaded

--with-pcre=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local

I get the same results regardless of what options I pass to PCRE's configure 
script. I've also tried pcre-8.37 and pcre-8.38.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Many thanks

Re: [Clamav-devel] Building ClamAV 0.99 with PCRE support

[Mark Allan]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks.

Yes, the configure options are definitely the same. In fact PCRE isn't 
installed on OS X by default, so I'm compiling it as well and copying all the 
binaries & libraries etc over to the destination machines at the same time as 
copying the ClamAV binaries.

[Mark Allan]

Hi Kevin,

Yes, that's fixed it. Thanks so much.

I still can't fathom why it would work differently on different versions of OS 
X, but it looks like you've solved the problem I'm seeing for now.

Thanks again

[Clamav-devel] Patch to force freshclam download progress meter

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,

With the release of 0.99, I got caught out by a change to freshclam's output.  
The end result is the same (defs do/don't get updated) so none of my automated 
tests caught it, but when you actually sit and watch the output, I'm not 
getting the download progress meter in my GUI any more.

The change that tripped it up was commit #cf5ba11 - Avoid emitting incremental 
progress messages when not outputting to a terminal.

I've included a patch which works against 0.99 stable as well as current HEAD 
(#1f85811) to add a new command line flag --show-progress to freshclam to force 
the output of the progress meter if freshclam isn't being called via a terminal.

Hopefully the additional flag won't cause problems for anyone, so it would be 
really great if the patch could be included please.

Many thanks,
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] GPL license question

[Mark Allan]

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I'm still curious about this.

Joel, your last two replies seem to indicate that it's OK for commercial, 
closed-source applications to link against LibClamav - presumably via dynamic 
linking rather than static linking so as to maintain the distinction between 
"work that uses the library" and "work based on the library" (as per the LGPL).

That's all well-and-good, but the documentation (clamdoc.pdf) which ships with 
ClamAV 0.99.2 clearly states the following on page 25:

> Libclamav is licensed under the GNU GPL v2 license. This means you are not 
> allowed to link commercial, closed-source software against it. All software 
> using libclamav must be GPL compliant.

So I'm wondering what's the definitive answer - is it legal for all those 
commercial closed-source applications you refer to to link against LibClamAV 
even though they're not licensed under the GPL?

If LibClamav is licensed under GPL (as the documentation suggests, and as 
stated in the source code itself), how are they allowed to do this, and which 
parts of ClamAV are covered by the LGPL?

Thanks
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] [clamav-users] how to avoid false positive in clamAV

[Mark Allan]

To whitelist specific files this way, you need to add the m5sum to a file with 
the .fp extension.  So, in your example, it should be sigtool --md5  
my_file_name.exe >> local.fp

If you want to ignore the signature altogether, you add the signature name to a 
file with the extension ign2.

For what it's worth, this is on page 23 of the "signatures.pdf" document that 
ships with the ClamAV source code.

Best regards
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] Pull request to add parallel scanning to clamscan

[Mark Allan]

Hi,

I'm not on the ClamAV development team, so have no say whatsoever in terms of 
what's accepted and what isn't.  That said, this is something I'd *love* to see 
implemented in clamscan. Thank you!

Disclaimer: I'm just having a look at this now but haven't fully read through 
the diff yet...

>From the commit message you said "build a list of files first and then spawn N 
>children to scan the files in parallel."

Does this actually iterate *all* the files and directories before starting the 
first scan?  If you're scanning a large directory tree, how much overhead does 
this add prior to scanning the first file?

Alternatively, as clamscan already iterates through directories, does it 
maintain a count of the number of concurrent calls to 'scanfile()' and fire off 
another one at that point as necessary?

Will take a closer look later, and maybe even answer my own questions :)

Mark

[Clamav-devel] Compiling against LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,

Is there a way to compile ClamAV using LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL?

I keep getting an error during ./config phase:

> configure: error: Your OpenSSL installation is misconfigured or missing


I eventually figured it's because the system I'm compiling on has LibreSSL 
2.2.7 instead of OpenSSL that I was expecting.

I don't really want to start having to build and bundle OpenSSL with my ClamAV 
build.

Thanks

Re: [Clamav-devel] ClamAV® blog: ClamAV 0.99.3 beta has been released!

[Mark Allan]

Hi all

This email is two-part: an FP report and a bug report - both only concerning 
0.99.3

I just uploaded an FP which is only being detected by 0.99.3 beta 1.  The 
checksum for the submitted file (PDFSigQFormalRep.pdf) is 
1a29b1f3d6df9f1e47c8a77dde142238

It's part of Adobe Acrobat and is showing up as Heuristic.PDF.TooManyFilters.

Now the bug-report part.

I added the relevant line to a local FP file exclude.fp in the clamav database 
directory, and it correctly prevents the file from reporting as being infected, 
however the summary still shows "1 infected file".

$ clamscan  ~/Desktop/temp/PDFSigQFormalRep.pdf 

--- SCAN SUMMARY ---
Known viruses: 7305825

[Clamav-devel] Another bug with ClamAV 0.99.3 beta 1

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,

Another issue with 0.99.3 beta 1.

The clamd process crashes on macOS 10.6.8 because it can't find the strndup 
symbol.  There are a couple of references to strndup in the source for clamd 
and libclamav - should these be changed to cli_strndup or am I better to 
include a static replacement function of strndup in the appropriate files that 
would only be used on 10.6 or earlier?

Thanks
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] Another bug with ClamAV 0.99.3 beta 1

[Mark Allan]

I just had another look at this today with fresh eyes and I see you've already 
got a static replacement of strndup for Solaris, so I've included a patch which 
uses the same function on macOS 10.6.8 or lower.  It relies on the appropriate  
(-mmacosx-version-min=10.6) setting on the configure phase, but the chances are 
if anyone's compiling with 10.6 support, they probably ain't compiling on 10.6 
so it's likely being supplied already.

[Clamav-devel] More issues with 0.99.3 beta 1

[Mark Allan]

I have two files which are being wrongly reported as infected by 0.99.3 beta 1. 
 ClamAV 0.99.2 doesn't detect any issues with the files.

The first is a single email file (extension .emlx) with md5 checksum of 
245ec37768c235da265014add38bdf4d and a file size of 2777 bytes. It's being 
detected as Win.Trojan.Agent-6319774-0 which has the following signature in 
daily.cvd

[daily.hsb] 6f8f57715090da2632453988d9a1501b:1:Win.Trojan.Agent-6319774-0:73

Three things strike me as odd about this:
1) The length of that hash surely matches md5 rather than sha1/sha256 and 
therefore ought to be in an hdb file rather than hsb?
2) It specifies a length of 1 byte, but also has :73 at the end which means 
"file size unknown".
3) The hash doesn't even match the hash of the email file in question. FWIW 163 
other different email files are also triggering the same infection on 0.99.3 
but not 0.99.2

Wouldn't either of the first two be enough for the sig to be marked as corrupt?

Lastly, why are ClamAV 0.99.2 and 0.99.3 treating that signature differently?


The other file is a PDF being wrongly detected as Win.Trojan.Agent-5520346-0. 
It appears to have the same issue with the signature definition inside 
daily.hsb, and also the file hash (c6721e7c77846b5a1d0efe3a708d8dc7) doesn't 
match the signature hash but is still being detected by 0.99.3 That hash can be 
found on VirusTotal with zero other detections.

[daily.hsb] 8fa14cdd754f91cc6554c9e71929cce7:1:Win.Trojan.Agent-5520346-0:73

While I could just add those two signatures to a local exclude file, I suspect 
there may be a bigger issue at play with 0.99.3

Hope this is helpful.

[Clamav-devel] Problem compiling with libxml2 and Xcode 9

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,

I just updated Xcode (Apple's developer tools for macOS) to version 9 and I'm 
no longer able to compile ClamAV 0.99.2 with libxml2 support.

Here's the relevant output from the configure script:

> ...
> checking for libxml2 installation... /usr
> checking xml2-config version... 2.9.4
> checking for xmlreader.h in /usr... found
> checking for xmlTextReaderRead in -lxml2... no
> configure: ** libxml2 support unavailable
> ...
> configure: Summary of engine detection features
>   bzip2   : ok
>   zlib: /usr
>   unrar   : yes
>   pcre: /usr/local/clamXav
>   libxml2 : no
>   yara: yes

I'm aware that things tend to break when updating Xcode, so I did this test in 
a virtual machine, which means I can say with certainty that the devtools are 
the only things to have changed. If I revert to the snapshot with Xcode 8.3, 
the configure script finds everything it needs to within /usr:

> ...
> checking for libxml2 installation... /usr
> checking xml2-config version... 2.9.4
> checking for xmlreader.h in /usr... found
> checking for xmlTextReaderRead in -lxml2... yes
> configure: Compiling and linking with libxml2 from /usr
> ...
> configure: Summary of engine detection features
>   bzip2   : ok
>   zlib: /usr
>   unrar   : yes
>   pcre: /usr/local/clamXav
>   libxml2 : yes, from /usr
>   yara: yes

If I update again (or go back to the snapshot with Xcode 9) it fails.

I've compared the checksums of the libraries in /usr/lib/libxml2.* and they're 
identical before and after the upgrade. Similarly, diffing the contents of 
/usr/include/libxml2/libxml shows they're exactly the same too, so I'm not 
quite sure what's going on.

Can anyone help shed some light on the matter please?

Many thanks
Mark

Hi Steve,

Attached are the extracted lines from the config.log of the non-working 
version.  The one which works just gives the following output:

From a quick glance, I suspect that means there's a problem with the 10.13 SDK 
and I'll need to get in touch with Apple.  Can you confirm that I'm right?

Thanks
Mark

[Clamav-devel] Why is error 13 fatal?

[Mark Allan]

Hi there,

For a while now, ClamAV 0.99.2 has been terminating unexpectedly with error 13 
when running on the latest version of OS X (macOS 10.13) but only on drives 
formatted with the new APFS, so I chalked it up to an APFS issue and reported 
it to Apple.  Today, however, I received a report of the same thing from 
someone whose hard drive is formatted with the old standard HFS+.

There's nothing of note in the scan output, even when run with --debug, and it 
gives the error at a different point every time.  Sometimes it occurs after a 
couple of minutes, sometimes it can be an hour into the scan.

I've had a look at the ClamAV source to see what's causing error 13 and it 
seems to correspond to CL_ESEEK.  Looking in libclamav/scanners.c, I can see a 
switch statement that causes the scan to abort when the result from 
cli_scanraw(...) is CL_ESEEK.

Can anyone think why the error would be occurring, and is there a particular 
reason why experiencing error 13 on one file should cause the rest of the scan 
to be aborted?

Finally, is it safe to tweak that switch statement to log the error and 
continue scanning rather than stopping?  It appears to work, but I'm not sure 
what knock-on effect it might have.

Many thanks
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] Why is error 13 fatal?

[Mark Allan]

Hi Micah,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Just so you know, I also received an email (off-list) from Tom McCourt about 
the same issue.

Unfortunately I don't know what files are causing the issue because it seems to 
stop at a different point in the scan every time. Sometimes (rarely) the scan 
will even run to completion without giving the error.

I'll run the scans again a few times this evening and pick out any files it 
stops on.

Lastly, as requested, below is my patch for switch statement. (odd. I just 
noticed the CL_ESTAT case above ESEEK, has a comment at the end. That's 
unintentional)

Thanks
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] Why is error 13 fatal?

[Mark Allan]

Hi Steve,

No, this patch is designed to permit scans of subsequent files to proceed.  
When error 13 is encountered, the whole clamscan process terminates.

Re: [Clamav-devel] Problem compiling with libxml2 and Xcode 9

[Mark Allan]

Quick followup on this one in case anyone else needs it.

It turns out you need to use -isysroot if you want to specify an explicit SDK, 
and use -iwithsysroot to specify a header search path within the SDK.

Easiest way to do that is add the following to your CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS prior 
to running the configure script.

-isysroot $SDKRoot -iwithsysroot $SDKRoot

where $SDKRoot can be determined with the following:

xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-path

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk

Re: [Clamav-devel] Why is error 13 fatal?

[Mark Allan]

Hi folks,

I've attached the output from 3 scans, all of which were started at root (/) 
with no other volumes mounted on the system.

I'm running the scans with parameters -riv (recursive, print infected only, 
verbose) as well as --debug.  The verbose flag prints out the name of each file 
being scanned, and I *believe* it prints this before attempting to start the 
scan of that file.

For each run, I grabbed the console output from the last "Scanning " 
to the end of the output.  Of particular note is Run 2, where the last line of 
output was the one saying which file was being scanned (prior to that point, 
the output was as you would expect) - no debug output at all to hint at where 
it went wrong.

As usual, all three scans stopped at different points.  I've tried rescanning 
those three files, and they all complete successfully.  Happy to send them on 
to you anyway if you think it would help. Just let me know where to send them - 
presumably they shouldn't be sent to the list?

[Clamav-devel] Whither ClamAV 0.99.2.1 ?

[Mark Allan]

Hi guys,

I saw the following blog post about an interim release (ClamAV 0.99.2.1) in my 
newsreader last week
http://blog.clamav.net/2018/01/heads-up-clamav-version-09921.html

The article said you planned to release 0.99.2.1 today (24th January), however, 
the post is no longer appearing on your blog.

Have plans changed, or is still coming today?

Best regards
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] [clamav-users] Freshclam 0.100.0 returning 1 on up-to-date

[Mark Allan]

Looks like the problem actually stems from a new #define in
"freshclam/freshclamcodes.h".  Change the value of FC_UPTODATE from 1 to 0
and you'll get the old/correct functionality.  Patch below.

Cheers
Mark

[Clamav-devel] Bug with .fp file being ignored

[Mark Allan]

Hi,

I think there's a bug with ClamAV not honouring the contents of a .fp file
within the database directory.

I've tested 0.101.2 as well as previous versions of ClamAV going back to
0.99.4 and the issue seems to have appeared as of 0.100.0 onwards.

To re-create the issue:

Find a zip file which you know reports an infection when scanned.
Use sigtool --md5 to generate an FP sig of the zip file and save it in a
.fp file in the databse directory.
Use clamscan to scan the file and see that it still reports the file as
being infected.


The output from clamscan --debug shows the .fp file is being loaded, but it
just doesn't seem to be being honoured for some reason.

I see the same thing when I build ClamAV on macOS as well as when using the
apt-get distribution on Ubuntu 18.04

Lastly, it only appears to be an issue with archive filetypes eg .zip, .dmg
etc. Simple files are excluded as expected - similarly, if you generate an
FP sig of a simple file and put that file within an archive, it correctly
gets excluded.

I'll clone the source from Git on Monday and have a dig through it myself
to see if I can fix the bug, but thought I'd mention it here in case
someone's already on it, or at least knows where I can start looking!

Cheers
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] Bug with .fp file being ignored

[Mark Allan]

OK, so tracking this one down took longer than I like to admit!

The issue seems to have crept in with commits 3e42216cc and 28afc94c3 back in 
April/May 2017.

Attached are patches for devel/HEAD as well as the stable 0.101.2 

Tests show that the issue is fixed and doesn't appear to introduce any false 
negatives.however, it does produce a duplicate output line - one listed the 
infection found, and the second line (honouring the FP file) saying "OK".  The 
"infected files" count is correct - see output below.

Does anyone know how to fix that duplicate output?

Cheers
Mark

I removed main.cvd and bytecode.cvd from the database directory, unpacked 
daily.cvd and eventually tracked it down to daily.crb

Removing the following definition solves the problem, but for some reason this 
can't be added to an ign2 file...and this sig worked on older versions of 
clamav, so it feels like that's the wrong solution anyway!
Trusted.CA.Microsoft-7350512-0

Has anyone else come up against this problem before, and do you know what I can 
do about it?

Many thanks
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] ClamAV 0.102.3 - Can't allocate memory ERROR on macOS 10.15

[Mark Allan]

Quick follow-up to this one.

Upon further digging, if the --fdpass flag is passed to clamdscan, you get 
different output...albeit still very wrong!
/Applications/Microsoft 
Excel.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Microsoft.Mashup.Container.app/Contents/SharedSupport/System.ValueTuple.dll:
 (null) FOUND

Does anyone have any thoughts at all?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Micah,

Thanks. I've uploaded it to clamav.net <http://clamav.net/> as an FP report.

Here are the various hashes to help you find it.

Re: [Clamav-devel] ClamAV 0.102.3 - Can't allocate memory ERROR on macOS 10.15

[Mark Allan]

Thanks for trying it out, Micah.

I wonder if it's something to do with the way I'm compiling it then?

Here's my ./configure incantation:

CFLAGS='-O2 -g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -mmacosx-version-min=10.10  -arch x86_64 
-w -isysroot 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk
 -iwithsysroot 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk
 -I/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/libxml2' 
CXXFLAGS='-O2 -g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -mmacosx-version-min=10.10  -arch 
x86_64 -w -isysroot 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk
 -iwithsysroot 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk
 -I/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/libxml2' 
./configure --disable-dependency-tracking  --enable-llvm=no --enable-clamdtop 
--with-user=_clamav --with-group=_clamav --enable-all-jit-targets 
--with-pcre=/usr/local/clamav --with-openssl=/usr/local/clamav 
--prefix=/usr/local/clamav

A few things I should probably explain with this:

1) The mmacosx-version-min=10.10 flag is so I can produce a package that 
supports macOS 10.10 to 10.15.
2) The version of PCRE is pcre2-10.35
3) OpenSSL isn't really compiled and distributed under /usr/local/clamav - it's 
just a bunch of symlinks to the openSSL libraries that ship a default install 
of macOS, which is ye olde libssl.0.9.8.dylib
4) If I don't pass in the header location for libxml2, the configure script 
still finds them, but the Make phase fails as it can't find "libxml/parser.h".

For what it's worth, the only step I had to change to make 0.102.3 compile was 
to add in step 4. Prior to 102.3 it compiled just fine without it...but I doubt 
that's the issue.

Not sure if that helps at all.

Thanks again
Mark

[Clamav-devel] Issue with FP only on 0.103.1

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,

It looks like the additional image file type support in 0.103.1 has introduced 
an issue with a particular signature which has been in the database since 2018

Img.Exploit.CVE_2018_4904-6449838-0

It's flagging up thousands of known-good files. As far as I can tell, they're 
all TIFF files.

I've added that signature to an ign2 file for now, but I'm wondering if there's 
something else that's maybe amiss somewhere either with the signature or the 
0.103.1 update?

Best regards,
Mark

Hi Micah,

Yes of course! I've just uploaded a zip file (Archive.zip) to the FP page on 
clamav.net
MD5 (Archive.zip) = 45229d954a884a1e03aba15b9f42168a

Re: [Clamav-devel] Issue with FP only on 0.103.1

[Mark Allan]

Thanks. I've just found another one too

BC.Img.Exploit.CVE_2017_11255-6335669-1

It's triggering on a file that's been part of macOS for many years. It's also a 
tiff file. I can submit this as well if necessary?

Out of interest, is the type detection mismatch something that can be fixed in 
daily.cvd or can I patch libclamav/filetypes_int.h to revert it to what it was 
at 0.103.0?

[Clamav-devel] dlopen using relative path for libclamunrar

[Mark Allan]

Hi there,

Ever since enabling the macOS hardened runtime for ClamAV, I've been getting 
the following error/warning message whenever I try to call any of the ClamAV 
binaries:

> LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen libclamunrar_iface: 
> dlopen(libclamunrar_iface.a, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
>   file system relative paths not allowed in hardened programs - unrar 
> support unavailable


Is there any reason why the libclamunrar library would be being referenced via 
relative path instead of absolute, and is there any way I can fix this?

The other libraries such as libclamav, libclammspack etc appear to load fine.

I'd appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] dlopen using relative path for libclamunrar

[Mark Allan]

Hi Micah,

Many thanks for your reply. I'm always careful to abide by software licences, 
so wouldn't want to build as 'static' if that would be against UnRAR's licence.

I'm really just looking for a way to make dlopen load libclamunrar_iface (and 
all/any other libraries) by way of absolute paths instead of relative ones, 
without building as static. Is that at all possible?

Thanks again,
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] dlopen using relative path for libclamunrar

[Mark Allan]

Hi Micah,

Thanks so much. Prepending the install path PREFIX in the dlopen call works a 
dream!

Trying the absolute path first is necessary to avoid macOS (with hardened 
runtime) printing that warning message every time the command is run. If that 
call fails, it reverts back to the original code which also allows tests to 
succeed.

I can share a patch if you like, but it would be of limited use as I've just 
hard-coded the path seeing as my knowledge of Makefiles is limited and I don't 
know how to reference the PREFIX configure option from within others.c !

Many thanks again for your help.
Mark

Hi Micah,

OK, I've had another look at it, removed the hard-coded paths and cleaned it up 
a bit. Patch attached.

Hope it's useful.

Re: [Clamav-devel] Issue with FP only on 0.103.1

[Mark Allan]

Looks like we have another one!
BC.Img.Exploit.CVE_2018_4891-6453673-2

This is generating loads of FPs as well.

Curiously (and sorry for listing two issues in one email) adding a bytecode 
signature name (with the .{} suffix) to an ign2 file appears to have no effect. 
Any thoughts why this might be?

Best regards,
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] Issue with FP only on 0.103.1

[Mark Allan]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for letting me know it's been dropped now. I was creating the ign2 file 
almost identically, except for using double >> instead of single as I already 
have dozens of lines in there.

I see you have it without the .{} suffix. I tried both with it and without and 
it wasn't working, ie
echo "BC.Img.Exploit.CVE_2018_4891-6453673-2" >> ignored.ign2
echo "BC.Img.Exploit.CVE_2018_4891-6453673-2.{}" >> ignored.ign2

Are you saying the .{} is no longer required to ignore bytecode signatures?

Thanks again
Mark

Re: [Clamav-devel] Second ClamAV 1.0.0 release candidate AND updated packages for 0.105.1

[Mark Allan]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build the ClamAV 1.0.0 RC and saw this in the documentation "Some 
of the dependencies are optional if you elect to not build all of the command 
line applications, or elect to only build the libclamav library. Specifically:
libcurl: required for libfreshclam, freshclam, clamsubmit, clamonacc
ncurses: required for clamdtop"

I don't need any of those binaries but I can't see how to specify that in the 
CMake configuration call. I've had a look at the INSTALL.md file within the 
source directory but the only feature I seem to be able to disable is 
"clamonacc". The ENABLE_APP option seems to turn on/off all of the programs 
rather than letting me pick and choose.

All I really need is clamd, clamdscan, clamscan and sigtool. Is there a way to 
achieve that without building everything and deleting the bits I don't want?

Thanks
Mark

Hi Ged,

Many thanks for this, it's extremely helpful and does *appear* to do the right 
thing. I'll obviously need to do a lot more testing, but you've set me on the 
right path!

Re: [Clamav-devel] Second ClamAV 1.0.0 release candidate AND updated packages for 0.105.1

[Mark Allan]

I thought there was an issue with v1.0 rc2, as a comparison with a previous 
installation (0.104.1) on the same machine showed massively increased scan 
times. After about an hour of digging and laboriously comparing output from 
clamscan --debug, as well as the man pages and clamd.conf, I finally realised 
the max file size has increased.

Comments in the clamd.conf file says the default MaxFileSize is now 100MB (up 
from 25MB in 0.104.1), and it looks like there's been a corresponding increase 
in clamscan as well. Adding `--max-filesize=25M` on the command line brings 
scan times back to previous values.

There's no mention of the change to the maximum file size in the man pages for 
either clamd clamd.conf or clamscan.

My email was also sent to the users' list, however, it's not the users who 
produce the code or the source tarball; it's the developers, hence sending my 
email here.

I *am* serious about ClamAV, and I do subscribe to all the ClamAV mailing 
lists, but I'm also human and we humans are known on occasion to have fallible 
memories. Neither of those two statements alters the fact that the man pages 
are wrong. I was simply passing on some information to the people who produce 
the software and who might be interested in doing something about it.

If *you're* serious about ClamAV, you might want to reign in the unhelpful 
comments.

I'm aware you have occasionally made helpful contributions to the list, but 
you've also made your fair share of sarcastic, unnecessary and unhelpful 
comments. If you've nothing nice to say, please don't say anything.
