Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: clamav-daemon
On my server, Feisty, all updates applied, clamav-daemon
(0.90.2-0ubuntu1.4) frequently goes "mad" eating 100% CPU for several
minutes or more for no visible reason. clamd consumed cpu time is over
150 hours after 20 days server uptime...
This issue will force me to quit using the clamav daemon on this
production server and revert to the standalone-called clamscan binary,
provided it behaves better...
(I've used clamav-daemon for years on non-Ubuntu distros and never saw
such evil behaviour...)
Furthermore, clamav-freshclam logs keeps complaining that the mirrors
refuse to send signatures updates for an "outdated version", which
happens when the clamav version is really... outdated.
I tick this as a "security vulnerability", as this looks like preventing
an anti-virus from getting new virus signatures...
