What to Expect From ClamAV 1.5 Open-Source Antivirus

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2025

Quoting: What to Expect From ClamAV 1.5 Open-Source Antivirus —

The team behind ClamAV has announced the availability of the ClamAV 1.5 release candidate, giving users an early look at what’s coming in the next major version of this highly popular open-source antivirus engine.

One of the biggest highlights in this release is the introduction of a FIPS-compliant method for verifying CVD and CDIFF signature database files. While the feature is included in this candidate, ClamAV developers aren’t yet distributing the associated “.cvd.sign” files for the main databases.

For now, this means systems running in strict FIPS mode will still see Freshclam updates fail. However, the release candidate does include test keys and certificates so developers can begin trying out the new signing and verification workflow.
