So you don't mind something like Tue Aug 4 15:10:12 CEST 2009 (tk) ---------------------------------- * freshclam, libclamav: work around possible race condition during db updates (bb#1624) Mon Aug 3 14:48:27 CEST 2009 (tk) ---------------------------------- * libclamav/unzip.c: fix detection of encrypted zip files embedded into other files (bb#1660) Fri Jul 31 12:52:08 CEST 2009 (acab) ------------------------------------ * libclamav/pe.c: fix check for pe32+ Wed Jun 10 18:04:53 CEST 2009 (tk) ---------------------------------- * libclamav: detect and handle archives hidden inside other files (eg. images), which can be unpacked by WinZip, WinRAR and other tools (bb#1554) Reported by ROGER Mickael and Thierry Zoller I'm on multiple mailinglists I don't read every day but are on a ones a week a quick scan. And a lot of them are announce lists for all production critical software I use. If I run a ssh service on my machine, and yes I do, I keep track of the ssh announce list. Why because I hate it to find my root password changed because there was a security update I didn't updated 6 months ago because an apt-get update/upgrade didn't work anymore. met vriendelijke groet, Maurice Lucas TAOS-IT ………………………………………………………………....
