ClamAV 1.3.0 includes the following improvements and changes:

Major changes

  • Added support for extracting and scanning attachments found in Microsoft
    OneNote section files.
    OneNote parsing will be enabled by default, but may be optionally disabled
    using one of the following options:
    a. The clamscan command line option: --scan-onenote=no,
    b. The clamd.conf config option: ScanOneNote no,
    c. The libclamav scan option options.parse &= ~CL_SCAN_PARSE_ONENOTE;,
    d. A signature change to the daily.cfg dynamic configuration (DCONF).

Other improvements

  • Fixed issue when building ClamAV on the Haiku (BeOS-like) operating system.

  • ClamD: When starting, ClamD will now check if the directory specified by
    TemporaryDirectory in clamd.conf exists. If it doesn't, ClamD
    will print an error message and will exit with exit code 1.

  • CMake: If configured to build static libraries, CMake will now also
    install the libclamav_rust, libclammspack, libclamunrar_iface, and
    libclamunrar static libraries required by libclamav.

    Note: These libraries are all linked into the clamscan, clamd, sigtool,
    and freshclam programs, which is why they did not need to be installed
    to function. However, these libraries would be required if you wish to
    build some other program that uses the libclamav static library.

  • Added file type recognition for compiled Python (.pyc) files.
    The file type appears as a string parameter for these callback functions:

    • clcb_pre_cache
    • clcb_pre_scan
    • clcb_file_inspection
      When scanning a .pyc file, the type parameter will now show
      "CL_TYPE_PYTHON_COMPILED" instead of "CL_TYPE_BINARY_DATA".
    • GitHub pull request

  • Improved support for decrypting PDF's with empty passwords.

  • Assorted minor improvements and typo fixes.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a warning when scanning some HTML files.

  • Fixed an issue decrypting some PDF's with an empty password.

  • ClamOnAcc: Fixed an infinite loop when a watched directory does not exist.

  • ClamOnAcc: Fixed an infinite loop when a file has been deleted before a scan.

  • Fixed a possible crash when processing VBA files on HP-UX/IA 64bit.

  • ClamConf: Fixed an issue printing MaxScanSize introduced with the change
    to allow a MaxScanSize greater than 4 GiB.
    Fix courtesy of teoberi.

  • Fixed an issue building a ClamAV RPM in some configurations.
    The issue was caused by faulty CMake logic that intended to create an
    empty database directory during the install.
