<description>This update for clamav fixes the following issues:
New version: 1.5.1:
* Fixed a significant performance issue when scanning some PE
files.
* Fixed an issue recording file entries from a ZIP archive
central directory which resulted in
"Heuristics.Limits.Exceeded.MaxFiles" alerts when using the
ClamScan --alert-exceeds-max command line option or ClamD
AlertExceedsMax config file option.
* Improved performance when scanning TNEF email attachments.
* Fixed an issue with recording metadata for OOXML office
documents.
* Fixed an issue with signature matches for VBA in OLE2 office
documents.
* Loosened overly restrictive rules for embedded file
identification and increased the limit for finding PE files
embedded in other PE files.
* Fixed an issue with extracting some RAR archives embedded in
other files.
* Fixed an issue with calculating fuzzy hashes affecting some
images by updating the version for several Rust library
dependencies.
New version 1.5.0:
* Added checks to determine if an OLE2-based Microsoft Office
document is encrypted.
* Added the ability to record URIs found in HTML if the
generate-JSON-metadata feature is enabled.
* Added the ability to record URIs found in PDFs if the
generate-JSON-metadata feature is enabled.
* Added regex support for the clamd.conf OnAccessExcludePath
config option.
* Added CVD signing/verification with external .sign files.
* Freshclam, ClamD, ClamScan, and Sigtool: Added an option to
enable FIPS-like limits disabling MD5 and SHA1 from being used
for verifying digital signatures or for being used to trust a
file when checking for false positives
* ClamD: Added an option to disable select administrative
commands including SHUTDOWN, RELOAD, STATS and VERSION.
* libclamav: Added extended hashing functions with a "flags"
parameter that allows the caller to choose if they want to
bypass FIPS hash algorithm limits.
* See the release announcement for the full list of changes:
