Debian DLA-1953-2 : clamav regression update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 129799

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The update of clamav released as DLA 1953-1 led to permission issues on /var/run/clamav. This caused several users to experience issues restarting the clamav daemon. This regression is caused by a mistakenly backported patch from the stretch package, upon which this update was based.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.101.4+dfsg-0+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
