KlamAV v0.42 released

Posted in

From KDE Apps:

Version 0.42 of KlamAV, the KDE front-end for the ClamAV Linux anti-virus software, has been released. Changes:

  • Disable and remove auto-scanning of files when they are modified. The approach is not maintainable.
  • Patch from "Nadav Kavalerchik" to handle hebrew filenames properly.
  • Fix to prevent command injection from Dirk Mueller.
  • Fix a couple of compiler warnings (Dirk Mueller dmueller at suse.de)
  • Disable quarantining of files that exceed the limit by default. this one is debateable, but it seems more people like to not have it by default, as they think their personal archive is a virus, while it just compressed really well. I think this also matches the clamav default, but I might be wrong (Dirk Mueller dmueller at suse.de)
  • Fix the ui for archivelimits to show "default" when its 0, so that the user isn`t confusing it with "no limit". ( Dirk Mueller dmueller at suse.de)
  • Restrict khtml`s parsing and not allow javascript by default in the update dialog. also, deleting the filelist is too much because it is already deleted via qojbect (Dirk Mueller dmueller at suse.de)
  • Fix https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171414
  • Patch to scheduled scan script from "Vincent J. Schiavoni"
