Hello, Since the release 0.93, the options ArchiveBlockMax (clamd) and --block-max (clamscan) are no longer supported. Furthermore, Marcus Neukert highlights since clamav-0.93.1: if a limit was reached, the return-code for applications is CL_CLEAN.
So now, when scanning an archive, the scan can end when a limit is reached and the result of the scanner is CL_CLEAN, although that this archive can possibly be infected. It is bad for people that need this information. In waiting for a possible solution, like a three stage error message (James Kosin's email): 1) Successful, NO VIRUS. 2) Unsuccessful, due to space or limits set. (warning) 3) VIRUS detected. I have written a patch for the release 0.93, that reintroduces the options ArchiveBlockMax (clamd) and --block-max (clamscan). In the same time, I have modified and extended the behaviour of these options to others achives (arj, tgz, ...). With this patch, if the option is enabled (not enabled by default), we just have 5 new possible virus definitions for all archives: - ExceededFileSize - ExceededScanSize - ExceededFilesLimit - ExceededRecursionLimit - UnsupportedFormatFile Regards, -- Olivier SOYEZ Atos Worldline - Offerings & Developement Messages & Documents Systems - Core Platform Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ce message et les pièces jointes sont confidentiels et réservés à l'usage exclusif de ses destinataires.
