I agree that the CVEs will be needed.

But 103.2 also includes the next step in disabling safe browsing
=> https://blog.clamav.net/2020/06/the-future-of-clamav-safebrowsing.html
That might be ok as upstream can't provide the data anyway, but still worth to think.

Also a bunch of other changes, but all fixes.

But we shouldn't miss that this also includes all of
https://blog.clamav.net/search/label/0.103.1

That added a few features (none dropped gladly), and much more fixes.

Now on a normal package I'd say "that seems too much for a late sync".
But we have to take into account that clamav isn't normal.
Security does regularly full version sync/backports to the former Ubuntu versions.

So if it is ok to push all these post-release, then I see no blocker in
fetching all these good changes now - even if it is late. If it fails to
complete/build/migrate it will still be pushed to all supported releases
a bit later.

I hope you all can follow my agrumentation ... syncing it now.
