ClamAV versions 0.103.5 and 0.104.2 are now available for download on the clamav.net Downloads page<https://www.clamav.net/downloads>.
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind users that versions 0.102 and 0.101 have reached their end-of-life period. These versions exceeded our EOL dates on Jan. 3, 2022 and will soon be actively blocked from downloading signature database updates.
For additional details about ClamAV's end-of-life policy, please see our online documentation<https://docs.clamav.net/faq/faq-eol.html>.
0.103.5
ClamAV 0.103.5 is a critical patch release with the following fixes:
* CVE-2022-20698<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-20698>: Fix for invalid pointer read that may cause a crash. This issue affects 0.104.1, 0.103.4 and prior when ClamAV is compiled with libjson-c and the CL_SCAN_GENERAL_COLLECT_METADATA scan option (the clamscan --gen-json option) is enabled.
Cisco would like to thank Laurent Delosieres of ManoMano for reporting this vulnerability.
* Fixed ability to disable the file size limit with libclamav C API, like this:
cl_engine_set_num(engine, CL_ENGINE_MAX_FILESIZE, 0);
This issue didn't affect ClamD or ClamScan which also can disable the limit by setting it to zero using MaxFileSize 0 in clamd.conf for ClamD, or clamscan --max-filesize=0 for ClamScan.
Note: Internally, the max file size is still set to 2 GiB. Disabling the limit for a scan will fall back on the internal 2 GiB limitation.
* Increased the maximum line length for ClamAV config files from 512 bytes to 1,024 bytes to allow for longer config option strings.
* SigTool: Fix insufficient buffer size for --list-sigs that caused a failure when listing a database containing one or more very long signatures. This fix was backported from 0.104.

* Laurent Delosieres
