Hi guys,

Recently on a box we found that when clam was doing it nightly scan (uses clamscan), it was creating huge temp files :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] clamav-768f23bf93fe051c]# ll
total 1001840
-rw-------    1 root     root     512425984 Oct 26 07:43 comment.html
-rw-------    1 root     root     512438272 Oct 26 07:43 nocomment.html
drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Oct 26 07:33 rfc2397
-rw-------    1 root     root            0 Oct 26 07:33 script.html

Now, the temp files grow bigger but in this case the partition ran out of space. (rfc2397 is empty)

The contents of both the html files are:
</b>on line <b>352</b><br />&nbsp;<a href="?dnindex=0">1</a></td></tr></table></table><table><tr><td><br /><b>warning</b>: division by zero in <b>/usr/www/users/spacqre/cbn/search.php</b>on line <b>352</b><br />&nbsp;<a href="?dnindex=0">1</a></td></tr></table></table><table><tr><td><br /><b>warning</b>: division by zero in <b>/usr/www/users/spacqre/cbn/search.php</b>on line <b>352</b><br />20 &nbsp;<a href="?dnindex=0">1</a>ff2 </td></tr></table></table><table><tr><td><br /><b>warning</b>: division by zero in <b>/usr/www/users/spacqre/cbn/search.php</b>on line <b>352</b><br />&nbsp;<a href="?dnindex=0">1</a></td></tr></table></table><table><tr><td><br /><b>warning</b>: division by zero in <b>/usr/www/users/spacqre/cbn/search.php</b>on line <b>352</b><br />&nbsp;<a href="?dnindex=0">1</a></td></tr></table></table><table><tr><td><br /><b>warning</b>: division by zero in <b>/usr/www/users/spacqre/cbn/search.php</b>on line <b>352</b><br /

Now, you are probably saying check /usr/www/users/spacqre/cbn/search.php, but that not the issue. Even if it has bad code in it, why does this affect clam?

search.php:
//snip
Line form search.php:
if($arrayLoop ==$arrayCount)
   {
       break;  //line 352
   }
//snip


The rcf2397 also got me thinking, and I checked the documentation for RFC2397, and it is :The "data" URL scheme which as far as I can see has no implication on this case, as search.php does not make use of this scheme.

Thanks,
Shaun Bugler
