[Bug 450250] Re: clamdscan says Access denied. ERROR on all files

[Imre Gergely]

It's not clamd that is locked down specifically, it's because of
Apparmor, which restricts a lot of things if running.

You can choose not to use Apparmor, or as said above, you can modifiy
clamd's Apparmor profile to include those directories you need to scan.
I'm pretty sure that Apparmor restricts other applications, too, not
just clamd.

Maybe Jamie has some other advice or explanation for this whole Apparmor
thing, but I'm thinking:

By default clamd's profile contains all the exceptions (if not all, then
99%) for all the default included applications in Ubuntu which use clamd
(take a look at /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.clamd). For anything else
'custom', you have to reconfigure Apparmor to use clamd with that
particular application. That hardly qualifies as a bug in clamav or
Apparmor. It just needs tweaking. IMHO.
