I have found the cause of the issue: clamav does not support symlinks for any of the following: - /etc/clamav - /etc/ssl - /etc/ssl/certs - /var/lib/clamav
If I make sure there is no symlink anymore for any of the above folders, then the issue is worked around: # freshclam --debug --verbose ... * Trying 104.16.219.84:443... * Connected to database.clamav.net (104.16.219.84) port 443 (#0) * ALPN, offering h2 * ALPN, offering http/1.1 * successfully set certificate verify locations: * CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt * CApath: /etc/ssl/certs * SSL connection using TLSv1.3 / TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 * ALPN, server accepted to use h2 * Server certificate: * subject: C=US; ST=CA; L=San Francisco; O=Cloudflare, Inc.; CN=sni.cloudflaressl.com * start date: Aug 15 00:00:00 2020 GMT * expire date: Aug 15 12:00:00 2021 GMT * subjectAltName: host "database.clamav.net" matched cert's "database.clamav.net" * issuer: C=US; O=Cloudflare, Inc.; CN=Cloudflare Inc ECC CA-3 * SSL certificate verify ok. * Using HTTP2, server supports multi-use * Connection state changed (HTTP/2 confirmed) * Copying HTTP/2 data in stream buffer to connection buffer after upgrade: len=0 * Using Stream ID: 1 (easy handle 0x55631ca7a1e0) > GET /safebrowsing.cvd HTTP/2 Host: database.clamav.net user-agent: ClamAV/0.103.0 (OS: linux-gnu, ARCH: x86_64, CPU: x86_64) accept: */* I'm not sure whether this symlink sensitivity is by design or a bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1920615 Title: getcvd: Can't download daily.cvd from https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd despite correct connection to https://database.clamav.net To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/1920615/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
