Updated: clamav-0.83-1


This email is to inform you about the release of version '0.83' of 'Clam
AntiVirus' for cygwin. Other useful information can be found at
http://freshmeat.net/projects/clamav/

The changes in this release are as follows:
0.81:
Scan engine improvements were made. The internal email scanner now
supports multipart/partial messages, and support for decoding
non-standard mail files was greatly enhanced. clamav-milter by
default uses libclamav and scans email messages itself without the
use of clamd. libclamav can now extract RFC2397 encoded data within
HTML documents, block zip archives with modified information in local
header, and scan HQX files. PE file structure rebuilding from
compressed executables was improved. clamdwatch users should upgrade
to the latest version (under contrib/) as soon as possible.
0.82:
This release adds generic detection of MS05-002 ("Vulnerability in
Cursor and Icon Format Handling Could Allow Remote Code
Execution")-based exploits. The fixes include correct attachment
scanning in e-mails generated by some Internet worms, a removal of
the false positive "Suspected.Zip" warning on non-standard zip
archives created by ICEOWS, better proxy support in freshclam, and
speed improvements.
0.83:
Due to a high number of bad files produced by broken software, the
MS05-002 exploit detector now only checks specific RIFF files. This
version also fixes a stability problem of clamav-milter/clamd, and
improves email scanning.

Sorry for not providing timely 0.81 and 0.82 versions, but our libtool
and autoconf patches (AC_RESOLV_HEADER) are still not in upstream, and
esp. relibtoolizing is a pain.

Release focus:
Minor bugfixes and minor security fixes

Project 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 commandline 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 in your own software.
