Hi Nigel,

ClamAV 0.95rc1 compiles and installs fine on Fedora 10.  However, the
"clamscan -d" test now appears to be more restrictive in what it finds
and reports as "malformed".

I have created a file of what was not detected with the ClamAV 0.94.2
version of "clamscan -d", but is now detected as malformed with the
ClamAV 0.95rc1 version of "clamscan -d".  The only file that reported
errors was SecuriteInfo's securiteinfo.hdb signature database file.  The
reported malformed lines can be viewed at:

   http://www.inetmsg.com/pub/securiteinfo.hdb-malformed.txt

and an updated version of the file with the malformed lines removed is
available at:

   http://www.inetmsg.com/pub/securiteinfo.hdb

Before I report this to Arnaud Jacques (of SecuriteInfo), could these
now reported malformed lines possibly be the cause of the clamd crashes
some of us have been experiencing?

Bill

ps, I've cross-posted this to both the SaneSecurity and ClamAV-Users lists.
