Security update for clamav

This update for clamav fixes the following issues: New version 1.4.2: * CVE-2025-20128, bsc#1236307: Fixed a possible buffer overflow read bug in the OLE2 file parser that could cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. - Start clamonacc with --fdpass to avoid errors due to clamd not being able to access user files. (bsc#1232242) - New version 1.4.1: * https://blog.clamav.net/2024/09/clamav-141-132-107-and-010312-security.html - New version 1.4.0: * Added support for extracting ALZ archives. * Added support for extracting LHA/LZH archives. * Added the ability to disable image fuzzy hashing, if needed. For context, image fuzzy hashing is a detection mechanism useful for identifying malware by matching images included with the malware or phishing email/document. * https://blog.clamav.net/2024/08/clamav-140-feature-release-and-clamav.html - New version 1.3.2: * CVE-2024-20506: Changed the logging module to disable following symlinks on Linux and Unix systems so as to prevent an attacker with existing access to the 'clamd' or 'freshclam' services from using a symlink to corrupt system files. * CVE-2024-20505: Fixed a possible out-of-bounds read bug in the PDF file parser that could cause a denial-of-service condition. * Removed unused Python modules from freshclam tests including deprecated 'cgi' module that is expected to cause test failures in Python 3.13. * Fix unit test caused by expiring signing certificate. * Fixed a build issue on Windows with newer versions of Rust. Also upgraded GitHub Actions imports to fix CI failures. * Fixed an unaligned pointer dereference issue on select architectures. * Fixes to Jenkins CI pipeline. - New Version: 1.3.1: * CVE-2024-20380: Fixed a possible crash in the HTML file parser that could cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. * Updated select Rust dependencies to the latest versions. * Fixed a bug causing some text to be truncated when converting from UTF-16. * Fixed assorted complaints identified by Coverity static analysis. * Fixed a bug causing CVDs downloaded by the DatabaseCustomURL * Added the new 'valhalla' database name to the list of optional databases in preparation for future work. - New version: 1.3.0: * Added support for extracting and scanning attachments found in Microsoft OneNote section files. OneNote parsing will be enabled by default, but may be optionally disabled. * Added file type recognition for compiled Python ('.pyc') files. * Improved support for decrypting PDFs with empty passwords. * Fixed a warning when scanning some HTML files. * ClamOnAcc: Fixed an infinite loop when a watched directory does not exist. * ClamOnAcc: Fixed an infinite loop when a file has been deleted before a scan. - New version: 1.2.0: * Added support for extracting Universal Disk Format (UDF) partitions. * Added an option to customize the size of ClamAV's clean file cache. * Raised the MaxScanSize limit so the total amount of data scanned when scanning a file or archive may exceed 4 gigabytes. * Added ability for Freshclam to use a client certificate PEM file and a private key PEM file for authentication to a private mirror. * Fix an issue extracting files from ISO9660 partitions where the files are listed in the plain ISO tree and there also exists an empty Joliet tree. * PID and socket are now located under /run/clamav/clamd.pid and /run/clamav/clamd.sock . * bsc#1211594: Fixed an issue where ClamAV does not abort the signature load process after partially loading an invalid signature. - New version 1.1.0: * https://blog.clamav.net/2023/05/clamav-110-released.html * Added the ability to extract images embedded in HTML CSS <style> blocks. * Updated to Sigtool so that the '--vba' option will extract VBA code from Microsoft Office documents the same way that libclamav extracts VBA. * Added a new option --fail-if-cvd-older-than=days to clamscan and clamd, and FailIfCvdOlderThan to clamd.conf * Added a new function 'cl_cvdgetage()' to the libclamav API. * Added a new function 'cl_engine_set_clcb_vba()' to the libclamav API. - bsc#1180296: Integrate clamonacc as a service. - New version 1.0.1 LTS (including changes in 0.104 and 0.105): * As of ClamAV 0.104, CMake is required to build ClamAV. * As of ClamAV 0.105, Rust is now required to compile ClamAV. * Increased the default limits for file and scan size: * MaxScanSize: 100M to 400M * MaxFileSize: 25M to 100M * StreamMaxLength: 25M to 100M * PCREMaxFileSize: 25M to 100M * MaxEmbeddedPE: 10M to 40M * MaxHTMLNormalize: 10M to 40M * MaxScriptNormalize: 5M to 20M * MaxHTMLNoTags: 2M to 8M * Added image fuzzy hash subsignatures for logical signatures. * Support for decrypting read-only OLE2-based XLS files that are encrypted with the default password. * Overhauled the implementation of the all-match feature. * Added a new callback to the public API for inspecting file content during a scan at each layer of archive extraction. * Added a new function to the public API for unpacking CVD signature archives. * The option to build with an external TomsFastMath library has been removed. ClamAV requires non-default build options for TomsFastMath to support bigger floating point numbers. * For a full list of changes see the release announcements: * https://blog.clamav.net/2022/11/clamav-100-lts-released.html * https://blog.clamav.net/2022/05/clamav-01050-01043-01036-released.html * https://blog.clamav.net/2021/09/clamav-01040-released.html - Build clamd with systemd support. * CVE-2023-20197: Fixed a possible denial of service vulnerability in the HFS+ file parser. (bsc#1214342) * CVE-2018-14679: Fixed that an issue was discovered in mspack/chmd.c in libmspack before 0.7alpha. There isan off-by-one error in the CHM PMGI/PMGL chunk number validity checks, which could lead to denial of service (uninitialized da (bsc#1103032) - Package huge .html documentation in a separate subpackage. - Update to 0.103.7 (bsc#1202986) - Zip parser: tolerate 2-byte overlap in file entries - Fix bug with logical signature Intermediates feature - Update to UnRAR v6.1.7 - Patch UnRAR: allow skipping files in solid archives - Patch UnRAR: limit dict winsize to 1GB - Use a split-provides for clamav-milter instead of recommending it. - Package clamav-milter in a subpackage - Remove virus signatures upon uninstall - Check for database existence before starting clamd - Restart clamd when it exits - Don't daemonize freshclam, but use a systemd timer instead to trigger updates
