[Pkg-clamav-devel] Backport ClamAV FIPS Fix to Ubuntu 22.04 Distribution

[Jake Lepere]

Hello,

As described in [1], there's an issue currently with running ClamAV in a
FIPS-enabled environment. Fortunately, a fix for this was just merged and
will be included in v1.5.0, which is currently in beta [2]. However, this
issue impacts Ubuntu 22.04, and from what I can tell reviewing [3] (and
from [4]), this fix normally wouldn't be backported there.

Can you help provide information on whether or not this fix will be
backported to the Ubuntu 22.04 distribution? If there's any merit to it,
backporting this would be very helpful for anyone experiencing this issue
on Ubuntu 22.04. Alternatives to get around this issue would be installing
from source or upgrading Ubuntu to a version that would include v1.5.0,
both of which aren't necessarily trivial.

Thanks in advance.
