    Package        : clamav
    Version        : 1.4.3+dfsg-1~deb11u1

    The 1.0 version of ClamAV, an anti-virus utility for Unix, had recently
    been discontinued upstream, and was set to no longer accept signature
    updates on November 28, 2026. This update brings ClamAV 1.4 to bullseye,
    extending the upstream support.

    This update also includes a new version of libclamunrar for compatibility
    with rar files, and rebuilds of c-icap-modules, havp, cyrus-imapd and
    pg-snakeoil for the new libclamav12 library.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.4.3+dfsg-1~deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your clamav packages.

    For the detailed security status of clamav please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/clamav
