I am running CLAMAV on a number of servers running different linux distributions and, therefore, different versions of the clamav engine. 2 of the servers have started to give errors when trying to upload the definition files. These errors came to light as emails I received,
I have tried to update Clamav but there is no newer package for the distribution. It is possible (although I can't prove ite) that cloudfare is checking the user agent and seeing my installation is too old?
You are correct.
This is the email that warned me of the problem: =========================================================================== ERROR: downloadFile: Unexpected response (403) from database.clamav.net/daily-26440.cdiff ERROR: getpatch: Can't download daily-26440.cdiff from database.clamav.net/daily-26440.cdiff ERROR: downloadFile: Unexpected response (403) from database.clamav.net/daily.cvd ERROR: getcvd: Can't download daily.cvd from database.clamav.net/daily.cvd ERROR: Update failed for database: daily ERROR: Database update process failed: HTTP GET failed (11) ERROR: Update failed. =========================================================================== and this is the output from freshclam --debug --verbose =========================================================================== ClamAV update process started at Thu Feb 10 15:21:42 2022 Current working dir is /var/lib/clamav/ Querying current.cvd.clamav.net TTL: 587 fc_dns_query_update_info: Software version from DNS: 0.103.5 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!

This is your problem.
DON'T PANIC! Read https://www.clamav.net/documents/upgrading-clamav
https://blog.clamav.net/2022/01/clamav-01035-and-01042-security-patch.html might be more helpfully accurate. You could host a local mirror https://docs.clamav.net/appendix/CvdPrivateMirror.html (includes suggestion of an HTTP proxy) or run a networked clamd and replace clamscan with clamscan on the problem machines or even network share /var/lib/clamav/ -- Andrew C.
