Release : 2.el7

Summary : End-user tools for the Clam Antivirus scanner
Description :
Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose of this
software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). The
package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command
line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The programs
are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus package,
which you can use with your own software. The virus database is based on
the virus database from OpenAntiVirus, but contains additional signatures
(including signatures for popular polymorphic viruses, too) and is KEPT UP
TO DATE.

Update Information:
Try to mitigate bug #1583599 ---- ClamAV 0.100.0 ============== ClamAV
0.100.0 is a feature release which includes many code submissions from the
ClamAV community. Some of the more prominent submissions include: *
Interfaces to the Prelude SIEM open source package for collecting ClamAV virus
events. * Support for Visual Studio 2015 for Windows builds. Please note that
we have deprecated support for Windows XP, and while Vista may still work, we no
longer test ClamAV on Windows XP or Vista. * Support libmspack internal code
or as a shared object library. The internal library is the default and includes
modifications to enable parsing of CAB files that do not entirely adhere to the
CAB file format. * Linking with OpenSSL 1.1.0. * Deprecation of the
AllowSupplementaryGroups parameter statement in clamd, clamav-milter, and
freshclam. Use of supplementary is now in effect by default. * Numerous bug
fixes, typo corrections, and compiler warning fixes. Additionally, upstream
introduced important changes and new features in ClamAV 0.100, including but not
limited to: * Deprecating internal LLVM code support. The configure script
has changed to search the system for an installed instance of the LLVM
development libraries, and to otherwise use the bytecode interpreter for ClamAV
bytecode signatures. To use the LLVM Just-In-Time compiler for executing
bytecode signatures, please ensure that the LLVM development package at version
3.6 or lower is installed. Using the deprecated LLVM code is possible with the
command: `./configure --with-system-llvm=no`, but it no longer compiles on all
platforms. * Compute and check PE import table hash (a.k.a. "imphash")
signatures. * Support file property collection and analysis for MHTML files.
* Raw scanning of PostScript files. * Fix clamsubmit to use the new virus and
false positive submission web interface. * Optionally, flag files with the
virus "Heuristic.Limits.Exceeded" when size limitations are exceeded. *
Improved decoders for PDF files. * Reduced number of compile time warnings.
* Improved support for C++11. * Improved detection of system installed
libraries. * Fixes to ClamAV's Container system and the introduction of
Intermediates for more descriptive signatures. * Improvements to clamd's On-
Access scanning capabilities for Linux.
