The CURL_CA_BUNDLE environment variable used by freshclam & clamsubmit to specify a custom path to a CA bundle is undocumented. Feature was added here: https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12504 Resolves: Cisco-Talos#175 Also document: - clamd/clamscan: using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find libclamunrar_iface.so/dylib - sigtool: using SIGNDUSER, SIGNDPASS for auth creds when building CVD This info also needs to be added to the online documentation.

Describe the bug
Missing documentation for CURL_CA_BUNDLE option to customize the CA bundle path.
How to reproduce the problem
Grep the clamav source for "CURL_CA_BUNDLE". It only appears in the code and in the NEWS.md file.
Documentation for how (and why) to use the CURL_CA_BUNDLE environment variable should be added to the freshclam and clamsubmit man pages. It would probably be good to reference it in the application
--helpoutput as well. And it should be added to the freshclam FAQ in case users run into certificate problems. See https://lists.clamav.net/pipermail/clamav-users/2021-June/011382.htmlThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
