Re: [Clamav-users] Trouble with ClamAV-0.66

[Bill Maidment]

More news. freshclam has segfaulted on one of my other machines. It 
seems to depend on which source of data is selected. At least one of the 
servers is sending the data undelimited (i.e. no \0 on the end) and so 
we get the data padded to 512 bytes with what looks like spaces. We 
still can't work out why it is failing, but it is.

Cheers
Bill

It's actually crashing on this instruction at the bottom of str.c
   buffer = malloc(j-i+1);
where j=250 and i=79
The strange thing is that this is the second time it has gone through 
this routine with exactly the same input!
Oh well, I'm learning something about C in the process. I'm getting 
another programmer to check it out.

Also this machine had RedHat 9 installed as an upgrade from a partial 
RedHat 8, so something may be missing!

Cheers
Bill
