The issue is in clamav-milter, the sendmail plug-in for the anti-virus, which scans e-mail as it comes into the server. Clamav-milter doesn't properly sanitize user input. It is possible to inject shell code in the...

Trend vs Barracuda - its not about open source, its about the money!

2008-06-13 22:39:19 by HASH0x8c11980 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...ClamAV was making money, they would sue them too is dangling metaphor there. Here is what Chen says, "But we were not suing ClamAV. Barracuda is a for-profit company. They are taking ClamAV, putting it on their gateway and making money out of it. It's not free software that we are suing, it's Barracuda." So it is all about the money than. If...

Further reflections on Trend, Barracuda and open source

2008-01-30 23:48:58 by HASH0x8b2d2d8 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...ClamAV may have as many as 1 million users downloaded updates daily. This makes them at least a potential formidable competitor to Trend. One that I am sure Trend would like to see go away because they can't compete with them on price 2. Going after individual users of Clam would be like herding cats. There is no way you can hit them all. At...

...ClamAV and the Trend Micro suit. As readers of my blog know, Trend Micro sued Barracuda a few months ago for patent violations around the way Barracuda uses ClamAV in its appliances. I think Dean was looking to Sourcefire as the owners of ClamAV to step up and help in the defense of the suit. I believe to date, that has not happened and Dean...

Trend Micro: Barracuda suit not about open source

2008-06-14 00:00:00 by Robert McMillan in Network World on Security
 
...ClamAV antivirus project. That's because Barracuda uses ClamAV to be able to scan for viruses at the "gateway," where a local area network connects to the Internet. Trend Micro says it owns the technology behind this -- thanks to a patent it calls the "600" patent

Barracuda defends open source AV from Trend, where is the calvary?

2008-01-29 19:28:34 by HASH0x8b631ac in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...ClamAV users. Though Trend's claims may go to all gateway AVs, clearly this is about Barracuda using Clam and about Clam So here is my question: Why haven't we heard from the owners of ClamAV. Sourcefire bought them in August I thought. This could effect them as much as anyone. They are big supporters of open source and as a public company...
