This package is a a CVE fix but has one other great improvement - announcement.

The big improvement is in the time it takes to load the virus database. We have been struggling for a while with start up times which forced us to increase the startup timeout a couple of times right up to 300s as clamd was not starting up in the default 90s, especially on slower systems.
On my Microserver (AMD Opteron(tm) X3216 APU), clamd was taking 2m30s to start. Now it is taking under 40s. On my server (Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4130) it was taking 1m10s and this has now reduced to under 30s.

I would like to get this into the community as soon as possible. To update please run:
yum update clamav --enablerepo=clearos-updates-testing

    I installed the update. I think I don't experience any difference because my server is in the basement. I don't really monitor boot times.., but this kind of improvements are always good.

    Hi,

    I've installed the update.
    A clamd restart took around 29s.
    Running on a HP Microserver with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220L V2 @ 2.30GHz
    I've forgot to time the start time before the update :p

    Installed on 3 ClearOS 7.x systems and run for 1 day without issue. Speedup on an Intel Atom system dramatic.
    Thanks...
