hi guys. been running this function for 2-3 years now more as an ongoing test, so thanks.

my use doesn't generate any full on workload really, but checking in to see how it was running and i'm just building the latest versions, and i notice my currently slightly outdated existing lambda function for clamav virus definition updates, is running but the definitions in s3 don't appear to have changed since nov 2019. The scans are running, but obviously generating an error warning about the definitions being >7 days old...

i've built the new/latest function and had it update the definitions, but checking the hashes, they appear to be the same as my nov 2019 definitions for the original function.

obviously i would have thought the definitions would be updating at least every few days, let alone over a year.

whats the go? is clamav not updating or is the processes this function uses no longer current to achieve the latest virus definitions...?

So it appears, the code here for the lambda function was running into disk issues with the update process, and not updating definitions or error-ing correctly

fix is here for anyone interested, cheers to trevor rea / UKForeignOffice! https://github.com/UKForeignOffice/bucket-antivirus-function/commits/master
