[clamav-users] Disk space utilization ever increasing until I kill clamonacc

[Stephen Scotter]

I just wanted to close the loop on this for anyone else who follows in my footsteps.

Since upgrading to 0.103.5 I've not had any more problems with disk utilization seemingly increasing.

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards

Steve

School boy error on my part not providing the version information. My bad!

# clamd -V
ClamAV 0.103.3/26461/Tue Feb 22 09:28:23 2022

I think you're on to something with thinking this is a bug which may have already been resolved.

https://blog.clamav.net/2021/11/clamav-01034-and-01041-patch-releases.html
---------------------------
Other fixes backported from 0.104.0:
ClamOnAcc: Fixed a socket file descriptor leak that could result in a crash when all available file descriptors are exhausted.
---------------------------

< Debian specific >
I check the test host in question and it didn't have the bullseye-updates repo enabled.

Added the following to /etc/apt/sources.list, then did a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and now I'm on 0.103.5

---------------------------
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main
---------------------------

---------------------------
# clamd -V
ClamAV 0.103.5/26461/Tue Feb 22 09:28:23 2022
---------------------------

Fingers crossed it resolve the issue. I'll do my best to feed back in a few days.

Thanks for you assistance.
