Debian DLA-546-2 : clamav version update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91979

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

DLA 546-1 was incorrectly released before updated clamav packages were available and there were subsequent issues with the acceptance of the package (which have since been corrected). Updates are now available for all supported LTS architectures.

We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.

Upstream published version 0.99.2. This update updates wheezy-lts to the latest upstream release in line with the approach used for other Debian releases.

The changes are not strictly required for operation, but users of the previous version in Wheezy may not be able to make use of all current virus signatures and might get warnings.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this has been addressed in version 0.99.2+dfsg-0+deb7u2.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
