freshclam: Verification: Can't verify database integrity

What the heck could be causing freshclam verification problems for the
past 2 days? I'm getting rate-limited over and over because freshclam
fails to verify daily.cvd (and then retries over and over). Is there a
known problem with daily.cvd downloads being corrupt? Google says to
"wget http://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd" but that no longer works.
What should I be doing differently?

you can try to delete all files in lib folder and start freshclam again.
by the way: you should maximum once per day refresh your signature files otherwise the cdn will block you for 24 hours.
Do you habe seen this page?

If freshclam is trying more than once per day than that is a freshclam
bug, no?

Yes, and a few others, they are of no help with the specific problem in
the subject.

I suspect that this particular CDN endpoint is serving a corrupt file.
(why isn't there a freshclam logged entry indicating which CDN mirror is
giving the error, after all the CDN can log the cooldown specifics)

i mean the default setting in freshclam.conf is set to every hour (12x at day) will start an update process for virus databases ...

maybe you can sing up for the otter mailing-list clamav-virusdb@lists.clamav.net with this special topic

It's perfectly fine to have Checks set to any number less than 96.

Why?, that's an announcement list for virusdb changes.

this looks like you are running two concurrent update processes.
This may or may not cause the problem.

do you have single dedicated IP address for this server?

does the freshclam process run with permissions required to update the
/var/lib/clamav directory?
is it all owned by clamav user?

I can't explain the 2 identical logged lines, freshclam has been logging
dups that for a while now:

Dec 19 08:19:34 mx3 freshclam[49]: ClamAV update process started at Mon Dec 19 08:19:34 2022
Dec 19 08:19:34 mx3 freshclam[49]: ClamAV update process started at Mon Dec 19 08:19:34 2022
Dec 19 10:19:34 mx3 freshclam[49]: ClamAV update process started at Mon Dec 19 10:19:34 2022
Dec 19 10:19:34 mx3 freshclam[49]: ClamAV update process started at Mon Dec 19 10:19:34 2022

but there is only 1 instance running:
~$ ps -ef|grep clamav
clamav 1013 1 0 Dec25 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/freshclam -d --foreground=true

$ dpkg --list |grep clamav-freshclam
ii clamav-freshclam 0.103.7+dfsg-1+b2 amd64 anti-virus utility for Unix - virus database update utility

do you have single dedicated IP address for this server?

Yes, both IPv4 and IPv6.


> DatabaseOwner clamav
> DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav

does the freshclam process run with permissions required to update the
/var/lib/clamav directory?
is it all owned by clamav user?

Yes, freshclam previously created this one file:

$ ll /var/lib/clamav/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 69 Dec 25 20:29 freshclam.dat


Very odd situation indeed.

It just occurred to me, with this latest round of errors, that there are
not 2 processes running. The PID is 1807 for all logged errors. This
means that freshclam is making 2 connections. Any thoughts on
debugging these problems with freshclam? All my googling suggest that
it's a mirror problem, is there a place to report mirror problems?

Hi all!

I'm seeing the same issue with ClamAV 0.103.7 on Debian Testing (Bookworm).
The freshclam.conf is as provided by the Debian package.

Any news on this issue?

Regards,
Alex

It's a Debian issue. I haven't figured it out yet as nothing changed that seems like a likely source. In the meantime, the 0.103.7 package in Stable works on Testing/Unstable, so you can use that
