It took me a lot of time to find reliable information about this as
well. The ClamAV bugtracker is an absolute mess and totally useless, and
most of the times when you see issues there is nothing on the ML either.

That said, since about half an hour they are shipping daily.cvd 24258
from the mirrors which is supposed to fix this. So a remedy should be
just one freshclam run away.
