WHM clamav outdated

[Radio_Head]

try again now.

 

[Radio_Head]

The way to update clamd in a safe way , that I already explained above and it is still good is the following. if you want 0.91.1

cd /usr/local/cpanel/modules-install/clamavconnector-Linux-i686
wget http://freshmeat.net/redir/clamav/29355/url_tgz/clamav-0.91.1.tar.gz
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/install2
chmod 755 install2

now check your clamd version
clamd --v

for example it returns 0.90.3

pico install2 and replace

AVVOLD=0.90.1
with your current version

so you should have this
AVV=0.91.1
AVVOLD=0.90.3

Save


Now execute

/install2

done ! Now you have 0.91.1

You can use a similar way for next updates , only wget latest clamv and
tweak install2 with new and current version.

Bye

cPanel 11

Hi Radio_Head,

Is this still usable under cPanel11? Typically, a few days after cPanel11 is released ClamAv goes 'outdated'.

Thanks,
Dave.

 

[Radio_Head]

yes , I updated my cpanel 11 to clamAV 0.91.2 without any problem using the procedure explained above.

clamd --v
ClamAV 0.91.2/4028/Wed Aug 22 06:17:55 2007

Bye

Try uninstalling/re-installing the clamavconnector through the WHM interface. Worked for me

 

[mohit]

ClamAV 0.92 is available .
The way to update clamav in a safe way , that I already explained above and is still good

if you want 0.92

# cd /usr/local/cpanel/modules-install/clamavconnector-Linux-i686
# wget http://freshmeat.net/redir/clamav/29355/url_tgz/clamav-0.92.tar.gz

# wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/install2;
# chmod 755 install2

now check your clamd version
# clamd --v

for example it returns 0.91.2

now
# pico install2

and replace

AVVOLD=0.90.2
with your current version

so you should have this
AVV=0.92
AVVOLD=0.91.2

Save


Now execute

/install2

done . Now you have clamAV 0.92 (clamd --v)

You can use a similar way for next updates , only wget latest clamv and
tweak install2 with new and current version.

Thanks for the post, I am going to give that a try. I am becoming disenfranchised with clam. This weekend I tried clamwin on a win2003 server and it leaked memory, filled up the pagefile and wrecked some mail config files. Yeah, took all weekend to mop up that mess. Also, this doesn't comfort me much either http://secwatch.org/exploits/2008/01/clamav_MEW_BoF.py.info Now they claim that version 0.92 "provides various bugfixes, optimizations, and improvements to the scanning engine". If these clam folks don't get serious soon, I am going to have to put a lid on clamav.

The steps here worked for me:
http://configserver.com/cp/upgrade.html

# Download the latest stable ClamAV distribution from http://www.clamav.net
# Expand the distribution and cd into the resultant directory and build ClamAV using:

wget http://freshmeat.net/redir/clamav/29355/url_tgz/clamav-0.92.tar.gz
tar -xzf clamav-*
cd clamav*
./configure --disable-zlib-vcheck
make
make install
replace "Example" "#Example" -- /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf
replace "Example" "#Example" -- /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf
# Run freshclam to download the latest definitions:
freshclam
# If you're using the clamavmodule, check you have the latest version installed:
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::ClamAV

Notes:

1. While doing "freshclam", there may be some errors, but you can ignore them.
2. This is for ClamAV 0.92, latest as of this writing, but change the version in the "wget" line above and you should be fine.

Hope this helps.

That worked and first time to searched a sollution for it as sinds a couple of years cPanel always behind with updating clamav with the nightly upcp job.

So i guess cPanel is not having a prio on focussing 3rd party updates...

Someone can create a conjob script that is doing this each week or ehen OUTDATED occures?
So i dont have to so it manualy?

Thanks erick and Chirpy, this worked very well!

my "how to" above upgrades clamd provided by cpanel/WHM . The "how to" reccomended by erick_paper should install another copy of clamd (it should not upgrade current clamd version installed by WHM) . Am I correct erick_paper (what does return "whereis clamd") ?

I get:

# whereis clamd
clamd: /usr/sbin/clamd /etc/clamd.conf /usr/local/sbin/clamd /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf /usr/share/man/man8/clamd.8

# clamd --v
ClamAV 0.92/5511/Mon Jan 21 13:20:58 2008

[Radio_Head]

infact you now have 2 clamd versions (/usr/local/sbin/clamd custom and
/usr/sbin/clamd installed by WHM) . If you follow my "how to" above you don't install another clamd , you only upgrade clamd installed by WHM to 0.92 .

 

[sneader]

Oops... any suggestions on how to back out of what I did?

- Scott

 

[Radio_Head]

rm -f /usr/local/sbin/clamd;ln -s /usr/sbin/clamd /usr/local/sbin/clamd
rm -f /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf;ln -s /etc/clamd.conf /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf

Now you should have only clamd installed by WHM (and if you would you may upgrade to 0.92 )

 

[sneader]

Thanks, that worked great!!

Now execute

/install2

done . Now you have clamAV 0.92 (clamd --v)

================================================

How do you execute the install2 ???

i tried the following and just get errors like this:

[/usr/local/cpanel/modules-install/clamavconnector-Linux-i686]# install2
-bash: install2: command not found

[/usr/local/cpanel/modules-install/clamavconnector-Linux-i686]# exec install2
-bash: exec: install2: not found

 

[Radio_Head]

I think you failed some step , try again with the following

# cd /usr/local/cpanel/modules-install/clamavconnector-Linux-i686
# wget http://freshmeat.net/redir/clamav/29355/url_tgz/clamav-0.92.tar.gz
# cp install install2
# chmod 755 install2

now check your clamd version
# clamd --v

for example it returns 0.91.2

now
# pico install2

and replace

AVVOLD=0.90.2
with your current version

and
AVV with newer version (get it correctly from the clamav file downloded above)

so you should have this
AVV=0.92.1
AVVOLD=0.91.2

Save


Now execute

./install2

Done!
