Hello!

Ubuntu won't just update versions in a stable release without proper justification, as there is always a risk that a new version also introduces new bugs. We prefer to patch specific problems instead.

This page outlines the requirements for updating a stable release:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When

If you believe this clamav update falls under one of those cases, then please add a comment with your reasoning and more details.

Thanks!

Hi!

The "clamscan" command stopped working on my Ubuntu 18.04, probably because the outdated version of clamav. Cpu usage goes to 100% but the command does nothing until pressing Ctrl+C to exit. This is the main antivirus of Ubuntu, so it's a security vulnerability. I request the clamav package is updated to the current version.

Regards,
