I've been getting Cron /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep errors for weeks now on lots of servers

[WebHostPro]

Everyday I get a batch of emails from lots of servers saying:

Cron <[email protected]> /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep

ERROR: downloadFile: Unexpected response (403) from https://database.clamav.net/daily-26440.cdiff
ERROR: getpatch: Can't download daily-26440.cdiff from https://database.clamav.net/daily-26440.cdiff
ERROR: downloadFile: Unexpected response (403) from https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd
ERROR: getcvd: Can't download daily.cvd from https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd
ERROR: Update failed for database: daily
ERROR: Database update process failed: HTTP GET failed (11)
ERROR: Update failed.

I tried to update Clam with Yum and it seems to work but the cron errors keep coming. Maybe Imunify is trying to update clam and doesn't have permission?

What version of cPanel do you use? I recall there were issues with ClamAV earlier and the new release fixed this a bit ago.

Knowing the cPanel version would be helpful, as it sounds like it could be related to this issue: In Progress - ClamAV 0.101 and 0.102 EOL on January 3rd

v7.9.2009

I've tried yum update clamav but the error remains

Maybe I should remove the cron?

 

[andrew.n]

that's Cloudlinux version I believe. Once you logged into WHM what do you see on the very top right hand side?

 

[WebHostPro]

• CentOS v7.9.2009
• v100.0.9

 

[andrew.n]

that's still not the version number of cPanel/WHM

 

[WebHostPro]

Sorry, 100.0.9

Sorry, 100.0.9

seems there is some issue 5 months ago with something similar here

Clamav error when updating

hi i'm receiving email notifications saying the auto update for clamav failed Cron /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/freshclam --quiet --no-warnings ERROR: getpatch: Can't download daily-26099.cdiff from database.clamav.net if i try to manually update, i get the following output: [[email protected]

Can you try to uninstall clam and reinstall clam via Cpanel. and see if you still get the emails ?
maybe a simple reinstall might do the trick. as in the post above is what happened

let us know if this works

Kind Regards,
Spiro
