Hello Jari,

freshclam is running as daemon.
If you want to run it manually, then stop the daemon before :

/etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop

I can stop the daemon according to your instructions, but then follow some
other error/PANIC:

no, it does not panic, it explicitly says "DON'T PANIC!".
It only says that there is newer clamav version available.
maybe you should update or upgrade your system.

Also, when freshclam daemon is running, you should keep it running and not
stop it and run freshclam manually.

start freshclam back and let it do its job.

What made you think you need to run freshclam at all?

It says "update is available", but if I click the "Update"-button nothing
happens.
Then update from the shell window is not easily made either.

I am not familiar with clamt, but I guess it's telling you that there's new
version of clamav software available. You can't download new version of
clamav software as virus database update, you need to install it via your
sytem/package distribution, yum ot apt-get.

It looks the possible that the update agent is somehow failed and no newer
update actually exists.

There is no point of havine newest version of any software available.
Especielly not in version 18.04 LTS which is expected to have five-years
support (you can pay for additional 3 years).

There could be new version made available, if there's real need for it
(functionality needed for catching new viruses).

That’s a pretty broad statement. As a security minded person, I’d think you’d want software that was the most patched against any possible vulnerabilities.

Every product is different as to whether or not they provide security patches for older versions or how far back they patch.

For ClamAV, our development team is very small and we have a lot on our plates so we typically only provide security patches for the current feature release.

Right now, our current feature release is 0.101, published Dec 2018. 0.101 introduced some library API changes that made it harder to adopt than usual. For this reason, we made the decision to backport the security fixes found in 0.101.2 and released these for 0.100 users in the 0.100.3 patch release.

Next week, if all goes to plan, we will publish the 0.101.3 security patch and the 0.102-beta. We have *no plans* to publish any more security patches for 0.100. If you depend on your Linux distro to provide ClamAV, please help them create & test the 0.101.3 package so it gets into distribution faster. Otherwise, we encourage you to build & install ClamAV from source.

In the future, we'd love to provide Linux users with the option to install ClamAV from Snapcraft, but unfortunately we still have some more release engineering improvements to do before that will be a reality.

On the topic of "newer is always better":

The next feature release (0.102) will require libcurl version 7.45 or newer in order to compile/use the new on-access scanning client (`clamonacc`) because 7.45+ provides a required feature. In testing we've found that in most cases only the latest Linux distro major versions provide a new enough libcurl version. For context, the libcurl version we require was released on 7 Oct 2015, nearly 4 years ago and libcurl has seen some 50-odd CVE fixes since then*. I'm under the impression that in most cases, package maintainers cherry-pick the security fixes to older versions for their distributions though I'm not tuned in enough to know if that's true for every Linux distribution or every package. In any case, 4 years is a long time to go without an update in the software world - so we're not feeling too bad about this new requirement. Users who build ClamAV from source on older Linux distributions may have to build libcurl from source first -- which is a relatively straightforward process.

*Libcurl security fix reference: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/security.html.

That's the practice in Debian (patches post-release) for almost all packages, clamav is an exception for us.

Both Debian's current stable release and the previous release have a new enough curl to support this. There's one older release that does not. As long as we can disable the feature along with the requirement for the newer curl, it should be fine for us.

Thanks Scott, that sounds good to me.

0.102 will include the configure option `--disable-clamonacc` to disable the feature along with the libcurl (dev) 7.45+ requirement.

Even RHEL/CentOS 7 uses cURL 7.29.0... Most linux distos lock in
versions for a release and then simply do backports to fix things and
add new features. Otherwise you start to fall into "dependency hell"
and unexpected issues by updating to new releases that could break
previous functionality and other things that could depend on that
specific version.

As long as it's only a requirement when building with the on-access
scanning client and not just a basic build, then I don't think people
will have issues with it.

What I have sometimes done, if faced with the need for a newer version
of some libxyz.so, is to copy the newer version from a compatible newer
system to the older system and then update the symlink. For example, if
I have:

libxyz.so.3
libxyz.so -> libxyx.so.3

but need libxyz.so.5, I copy in libxyz.so.5 and re-symlink, giving:

libxyz.so.3
libxyz.so.5
libxyx.so -> libxyz.so.5

Since it's rare that the new version *removes* a function, this usually
works. And if it doesn't, I just restore the symlink, since I still have
the previous version.

This is *very* risky with basic things like libc.so however, as you can
end up unable to execute any commands whatsoever.
