Package: clamtk
Version: 4.36-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I would like to scan a single file. According to the man page,
clamtk accepts a filename as an argument:
"ClamTk accepts a file or directory so that a user can
right-click on a file or directory and send it to be scanned."
In fact, this doesn't work: If I open a virus file in clamtk via
nautilus, it is not scanned, but there is no error message. clamtk
just reports it's successful start, this might be misleading
people to think that there is no virus.
The log file reports:
"ClamTk, v4.36
Wed Feb 15 12:49:36 2012
ClamAV-Signaturen: 1141675
Untersuchte Verzeichnisse:
0 wahrscheinlich infizierte Bedrohungen gefunden (0 Dateien
untersucht).
Keine Bedrohungen gefunden."
I.E. zero files scanned, zero threats found. The menu-based
feedback doesn't report a threat either. A normal user might
not notice that zero files have been scanned.
If I open the same file from clamtk's own file dialog, it finds
the virus:
"ClamTk, v4.36
Wed Feb 15 12:43:17 2012
ClamAV-Signaturen: 1141675
Untersuchte Verzeichnisse:
/home/mbelow/.cache/evolution/tmp/evolution-mbelow-S0PILH
1 wahrscheinlich infizierte Bedrohung gefunden (1 Datei
untersucht).
/home/mbelow/.cache/evolution/tmp/evolution-mbelow-S0PILH/DHL_Express_Shipment_POST_ORDER_ID7GLA9SG2.zip
Suspect.Bredozip-zippwd-2 "
I.E. one probable infection found.
This is a dangerous bug, because people tend to trust the
"success" messages and not read the details. clamtk should scan
files passed as arguments. If that isn't possible, it should report
a warning if it has been called with an argument ("Warning:
arguments found, possibly file names. clamtk doesn't evaluate
files from command line. Please choose the files in the clamtk
file dialog"). And the manpage should be fixed accordingly.
Thanks for your work.
Michael Below

Hi Michael,

I tried to look at this page and only got:
This page does not exist, or you may not have permission to see it.
After some communication with the author, things look like this: the
problem is that clamtk by design doesn't scan files in certain paths
that seem to belong to email programs. In my case, I was trying to scan
mail attachments from the evolution context menu (and later on from the
command line and nautilus). This doesn't work because the path for
Evolution temp files is recognized as a path for mail-related files and
dropped.
Since 4.38 clamtk shows a warning when no files are scanned, there is no
longer a success being reported.
I don't consider this a fix for the bug: clamtk should scan files no
matter what path they are stored in. But probably the severity is normal
now, since the dangerous success message has been removed.
I can't reproduce this bug with clamtk 5.07-1: scanning files inside the
evolution cache directory from the command line works as expected.
Therefore I'm closing this bug now.
If you can reproduce this bug with clamtk 5.07-1, please reopen this bug
or report a new one.
BTW, you might be interested in the new clamtk-nautilus package, which
adds a context menu option for scanning with clamtk to nautilus.
Best regards,
Andreas
