ClamAV 0.94 End of Life!

[SamTzu]

We have serious problem with our lenny2 servers.
There seem to be no upgrade possible at the moment.

Cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org lenny/updates main contrib

LibClamAV Error: cli_hex2str(): Malformed hexstring: This ClamAV version has reached End of Life! Please upgrade to version 0.95 or later. For more information see www.clamav.net/eol-clamav-094 and www.clamav.net/download (length: 169)

Hi I have the same problem here.
Same errors as you have:

/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start

The clamav packages are from debian and not ispconfig. As this is a general debian problem, I guess they will or have released already updates for it. So make sure that you installed all debian updates. As alternative you can e.g. use the clamav packages from the debian volatile project:

http://www.debian.org/volatile/

The clamav from the volatile project is 0.95.3.

Voltron81 has alos posted here the same solution with a short link to some more detailed instructions:

apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade do not update Clam.
I'm trying a testserver upgrade to squeeze but so far it's not going well.

apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade do not update Clam.

Use the volatile repository as I suggested.

[SamTzu]

This seems to work...
Add Volatile repository to APT list.
I did it by editing the sources.list with vi and these commands i ZZ
Clam install wants you to press q button.

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib non-free <-- This line needs to be in /etc/apt/sources.list file!!!

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
/etc/init.d/amavis restart
postsuper -r ALL

I have the same problem on Fedora Core 10. I'm not sure where to get distribution packages as I ran "yum update" for all packages but the ClamAV ones were not updated. Any tips for FC10 specifically?

Thanks

Not working for me :-(
All emails are still marked with "This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated" and NOT delivered to the user.

How do I stop messages being scanned by "amavis"?

I've already done the

"Change those lines in /etc/amavis/conf.d/15-content_filter_mode:
@bypass_virus_checks_maps = (
\%bypass_virus_checks, \@bypass_virus_checks_acl, \$bypass_virus_checks_re);

to
# @bypass_virus_checks_maps = (
# \%bypass_virus_checks, \@bypass_virus_checks_acl, \$bypass_virus_checks_re);"

thing, but still with no luck :-

@Edge,
You must do this:

add the line deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list

After that execute:

apt-get update
apt-get install clamav
apt-get upgrade
/etc/init.d/amavis restart
postsuper -r ALL
