ClamAV 0.101 and 0.102 EOL on January 3rd

Metro2
This is serious since cPanel is still running ClamAV 0.101 Quoted from [QUOTE] ClamAV 0.101 and 0.102 releases will reach EOL in a little over two month's time on Jan. 3, 2022. After this date, ClamAV 0.101 and 0.102 and all patch versions will be blocked from downloading new signatures from database.clamav.net. Please upgrade to ClamAV 0.103.3 LTS or newer to ensure continued access to the latest official malware detection signature databases.
Looks like it's time to either re-title or close / redirect my old thread at to this one, since in 2 months even 0.102 will be EOL, leaving only 0.103.3 and higher functional. The latest current version of ClamAV as of last month is 0.104 -

    Hello! It looks like version .104 has been rolled out for cPanel version 102 and higher. Can you let me know if you still have issues after updating to version 102? I am not aware if this will be backported to earlier cPanel versions at this time.

    @cPanelAnthony thank you so much for your reply. Pardon my confusion when you refer to cPanel version 102 - when looking at

    Found this - A Farewell To Paper Lantern | cPanel Blog - cPanel 102 is not available until next year. (And then I assume there will be the wait for it to make it through Edge and Current before becoming available to those of us running Release tier in our production environment servers).

    Hello again! My apologies for making it seem like 102 was available now. That is correct, it isn't yet available. And that is also correct; cPanel maintains this version. So, while it is end of life, it should be safe to simply keep running the older version until cPanel version 102.

    Safe? Maybe. Security-minded? No, and way behind the curve by years. Thankfully 102 has made it to Edge, so hopefully 102 will make it to the suggested standard of Release tier fairly soon. Thank you for the response.

    While I can never make any one-hundred percent guarantees, version 102 should be going to release in February.

    @cPanelAnthony - thank you for your replies, and my apologies if my last response sounded a little snippy. I hope that you can understand why, since the outdated ClamAV situation has been an item for well over a year now and I was getting worried, but still I didn't mean to be short with you. And as we have discovered - cPanel 102 it's making it's way to release, and during the process we've seen some related anomalies to the code / prep changes as we saw in , but those are "growing pains" but ultimately a good sign that cPanel devs have been hard at work on this along with the cascade of other challenges we've all been facing recently. I think we're all overworked! But it's definitely a big relief to see that time has been allotted for this to be addressed and it's almost finally completely out of the way. Cheers!
