ClamAV was updated to version 0.99, bringing the following fixes and enhancements:
- Support in ClamAV logical signatures for many of the features added for YARA,
such as Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, alternate strings, and YARA string
attributes. See signatures.pdf for full details.
- New and improved on-access scanning for Linux. See clamdoc.pdf for details on
the new on-access capabilities.
- A new ClamAV API callback function that is invoked when a virus is found. This
is intended primarily for applications running in all-match mode. Any
applications using all-match mode must use the new callback function to record
and report detected viruses.
- Configurable default password list to attempt zip file decryption.
- TIFF file support.
- A new signature target type for designating signatures to run against files
with unknown file types.
- Improved fidelity of the "data loss prevention" heuristic algorithm.
- Support for LZMA decompression within Adobe Flash files.
- Support for MSO attachments within Microsoft Office 2003 XML files.
- A new sigtool option(--ascii-normalize) allowing signature authors to more
easily generate normalized versions of ascii files.
