Description Matthias FooBar 2007-06-05 13:18:49 UTC
On a mailrelay server the new clamav-0.90.3 causes very heavy cpu load.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
relay ~ # clamscan /tmp/eicar.com 

Actual Results:  
/tmp/eicar.com: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 122106
Engine version: 0.90.3
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 1
Infected files: 1
Data scanned: 0.00 MB
Time: 21.376 sec (0 m 21 s)
relay ~ # 

This is 21.376 seconds of 100% cpu load. We can't use clamscan in the moment, because our mailservers load rises too high.

Expected Results:  
With clamDscan there is NO high load problem. But we can't use it with our mailscanner system.

relay ~ # clamdscan /tmp/eicar.com 
/tmp/eicar.com: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 1
Time: 0.001 sec (0 m 0 s)
relay ~ # 



There is already a bug report for the high load for app-antivirus/clamav-0.90.2 with refering to an update to app-antivirus/clamav-0.90.3. But this doesn't help, because the high cpu load is in both versions.
