Hi,
This is really a question for db maintainer, but I think it wouldn't hurt for normal user to know about this too.
I'm parsing viruses.db2 (from daily.cvd with sigtool -u) for an application that I'm working on,
and I found multiple signature for several virus names. For example :
Trojan.Clicker.Small-2 (Clam)=616c7061726164652e636f6d2f6367692f636c69636b3f613d34353730363226733d313426703d3100006861636b736f722e657865005b4d41494e5d3a20426f7420737461727465642e000000004465
Trojan.Clicker.Small-2 (Clam)=58450043464941554449542e455845005550444154452e455845004e555047524144452e455845004d435550444154452e4558450000687474703a2f2f706f6c6f626565722e64652f312e6a706700687474703a2f2f7232363236722e64652f312e6a706700687474703a2f2f6b6f6f6c746f6b796f2e72752f312e6a706700687474703a2f2f6d6d61672e72752f312e6a
they are not in adjacent location, so possibly different maintainer add them.
daily.cvd version 450 has 1597 virus signatures, but only 1569 unique names.
How does clamav handle this? Does a pattern have to match both or one of them is enough?
If clamav treats them as different virus signature, wouldn't it be best to come up with unique name
for each signature?
