[Clamav-users] zlib check newest clamav 0.81.rc1

2005-01-24 Thread Michiel van Es
Hi,
why is Clamav checking my zlib version and stopping the installer 
(./configure) ?
I mean...I use a patched zlib version straight from my Distro..and am 
not using the newest bleeding edge zlib version (which is being checked 
in the ./configure script?)
I would like to test the newest Clamav.0.81 rc1 but am not able to test 
it 'cause of this fake failed dependency.
How can I disable this check and let Clamav use my patched Zlib version ?

FYI:
OS: CentOS
zlib:zlib-1.2.1.2-1
Thanks for your help.

This is one of my long term gripes with RedHat (and its clones).  The
backporting of security fixes to older versions of software may be fine,
but it is a nightmare when you're trying to remember which version is
vulnerable or not.

In this case, the simplest thing to do is to search for zlib over at
rpmfind.net, grab zlib-1.2.2.2-1.src.rpm from the Fedora Core
Development Sources and rebuild it (rpm -ba zlib-1.2.2.2-a.src.rpm) and
install the binary.

Worked for me on Fedora Core 1.

Phil

That's why I rather choose for the rpm's from distro (easy update scheme).

[Clamav-users] "Directory recursion limit exceeded" error in clamd.log file (clamav version 0.80)

2005-01-24 Thread Hal Goldfarb

Please forgive me if I somehow missed the answer to this question.  I did 
thoroughly search all of the mail archives (including gmane, gossamer, etc) 
and though some of the tools have somewhat decent search criteria available, 
I was unable to find a solution.  I was hoping not to have to post anything.

I am running Mandrake 10.1 with all mdk updates applied as of this message.  I 
am running clamav 0.80 with the latest virus database updates.  The RPM is 
release 5.1.101mdk, to be exact.

Problem:  When I run clamdscan (which uses the daemon), it generates zillions 
of errors in the clamd.log file something like "Directory recursion limit 
exceeded at /home/hal/.tvtime".  However, when I run clamscan (which does not 
use the daemon, right?), it does not generate these errors as far as I can 
tell.

I am using the default recursion of 20 levels, so I think I should be ok.

Searching through the mail archives, I found some similar errors that were 
corrected in later releases of clamav, per the mailing list responses.  These 
were back in 2003; I did not see any more recent message posts.  (In fact, I 
only found 5 matches for the exact error message.)  Again, I apologize to all 
if I somehow missed a message addressing this issue.

A sidenote:  The clamdscan program disregards many clamscan options because it 
uses the daemon.  The "-r" option is needed for clamscan or it does not scan 
subdirectories.  However, clamdscan seems to automatically trigger recursion 
when calling the daemon to do its work.  This seems asymetrical to me, but 
perhaps you can educate me why it is this way.

Thank you,
Hal

Michiel,
I doubt you will compile clamav-0.81rc1 on your system easy, cause
RH-7.x clones come with old auto{make,conf} programs.
You must upgrade devel tools to compile clamav and modify sources
to compile with vendor patched zlib.

You can put that signature into a file called local.ndb in
the same directory as your *.cvd files.
I think there is a concept of "local" signatures and that is
how it's implemented. This is off the top of my head so I may have
misled you! Please dig deeper.

We also have a problem with clamd "stalling", and then qmail rejects all
incoming mail.
WE are using an old version of zlib (zlib-1.1.4-8.7x). This activity seems
random, and
we haven't been able to reproduce this.  I have browsed the list archieve
and seen numerous
people with the same problem but it seems there is no "concrete" answer to
fix this.
Hopefully someone can get to the bottom of this one :)

Thanks for all the help on this - I unmerged clamav and manually deleted

Then did a "find / -name freshclam" - Nothing was found.  I emerged

Right.

To be precise: according to clamd.conf the default is 15:

   MaxDirectoryRecursion NUMBER
  Maximal depth directories are scanned at.
  Default: 15


How many levels of subdirectories have you got under /home/hal/.tvtime ?
Or maybe there is some archive file with many subdirectories?

Sure. Exactly because of that reason, there are only few options for
clamdscan (see 'clamdscan -h' for the supported ones).

This is intended.

As clamdscan is only an interface to clamd, the way it works depends on
clamd.conf. To be sure what settings are used for clamd, you have to
check the contents of clamd.conf. Moreover: make sure there are _no_
other - forgotten clamav related files in the system because one may be
using them instead of these one is thinking is using.
Check also the clamd.log file (the fragment after "Started at") for
settings used by clamd.

You also need to remove the old library files that were installed with

your freshclam shows that it is outdated.

I had the same problem and it took me several install and un-installs

That error looks like a stock qmail-scanner mime-block error.  I don't believe

I'm very distrustful of qmail-scanner's mime blocking, so I've moved on to

It does for me, I use Petr Kristof's RPM (built from the src rpm) and
since I upgraded the logwatch rpm to 5.x I have used clamav-0.80-4 with
success, before that 0.80-1 and 0.80-2 worked fine as well.

This fix was related to clamav-milter right? We don't use it, don't have the
milter package
installed at all (built own rpm from source), so should we install the
milter package(with the fix)
to fix the clamd bug?

In your case it's rather a zlib problem. Make sure you have installed
the new version properly - by default its Makefile only installs the
static library.

it just handled the third update since above change without hanging - seems 
the session thing really did the trick - thankxalot! :-)

btw: would this imply that my system is somehow 'wrong', os- or otherwise?

try

locate libclamav.

or if you don't have that

find / -name libclamav.*

likely in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib

the short term.

For the record, I don't mean to bash qmail-scanner.. I've used it for years...  
I just don't like the mime stuff...

Congratulations on blocking Amazon gift certs. If you discover what is
doing it please forward it so we can all enjoy the success.

perhaps you don't have customers; perhaps you're just running clamav on 
your own personal mailserver. perhaps you have some strange aversion to 
people emailing you gift certificates. whatever. the question was how to 
stop the blocking, not how to block them.

I've received dozens - all faked. I'd love to know how to tell the fakes from 
the real thing. I've never received the real thing so don't have a basis for 
whitelisting. And I'm sure as hell not going to give Amazon a free ride.

Try simscan, is much better, cleaner and faster than qmailscanner:

What on Earth is the benefit of sending a fake gift certificate?  Who sends 
them?

Amazon supports the "sender-id/spf" sender
authentication thingy.  So, if you're using the
sid-milter, you would be able to tell if the message
is indeed from Amazon.

Be careful with statements like this.  Better for you, maybe.  Simscan
also has significantly less features which indeed make it cleaner and
faster, but better, that depends on what you want to do.
