Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately !
This message is kind of scary, and isn't really detailed enough (but probably better than nothing) :
In which way 0.68 (our running version) is "OUTDATED" ? What does it lack that could impact us ? The message doesn't state this so I checked the 0.70 changelog and decided to rely on 0.68 until we have time for testing 0.70. Now if in the future 0.80 brings something critical, this message probably won't change and prompt me to do a changelog check. For us it isn't really a concern as I am subscribed to clamav-users and follows clamav's features, but it might probably be for casual users.
Now why we won't upgrade from 0.68 just now :
we just (less than 2 months ago) updated to 0.68 to benefit from the signed cvd files and don't want to upgrade again if we don't need to. In our case, upgrading means running various checks with normal files, rar, zip, nested zip files and zip bombs in various conditions. We verify that we have control over the directory clamav uses when uncompressing archives, the error codes returned in various conditions (out of memory, out of disk space), ...
Upgrading production systems isn't a matter of simply upgrading a few rpm files...
Running 0.70 versus 0.68 seems to bring encrypted archive detection support, we can live without it for now. Is there something else I missed ?
