Public bug reported: Binary package hint: clamav
Hi Folks, coming from the security side - I know how Important it is to update the Engine in security products. The issue is - that viruses tend to change the algorythm's they use to attack systems. These force the anti-virus-software writers to update their Engines to detect some of the bad code - which can not directly be detected by Signatures. So - IMHO - it is definitly a Bug to not update the Engine of clamav in the ubuntu LTS (Which is a Long-time support distribution). I do not fall into Panic - don't worry - however if the Linux community wants to stay on the safe side - we have to update these packages - and make sure these are provided to all Ubuntu LTS users I do update my Systems manually (Except this test-system) - but others don't ! Thx for keeping the updates done to the Camav Engine updated under Ubuntu LTS... My system shows in the Log-file that: freshclam daemon 0.88.4 (OS: linux-gnu, ARCH: i386, CPU: i486) ClamAV update process started at Sun Mar 18 19:21:10 2007 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
