Hi Urban,
I took a look at this code. The real problem is the inability to create a
temporary file. The second message just results from the return code of the
function that attempts to create the temp file. We need to find out why the
temp file creation fails. There should also be a clamav error message
written from: cli_errmsg("cli_gentempfd: Can't create temporary file %s:
%s\n", *name, strerror(errno)); Can you find this message?
Otherwise, it is a memory allocation failure for space for the temp file
name, which seems unlikely.
