ReadyNAS antivirus stopped updating Readynas 3138 Firmware 6.9.3

My ReadyNAS stopped receiving antivirus updates on March 20th 2018. With ssh enabled I tried running freshclam and received the following message:

I was able to address the issue by removing the mirrors.dat file to reset the download history.

 

rm /var/lib/clamav/mirrors.dat

 

Then ran freshclam again and the updates downloaded with out issue.

Hi, Can you test your network to see that if your NAS can connect to Internet successfully, thank you.

Re: ReadyNAS antivirus stopped updating Readynas 3138 Firmware 6.9.3

Can you try pinging database.clamav.net from the NAS?

 

database.clamav.net resolves to a different IP address for me, and pinging 74.115.25.14 times out.

The nas is able to connect to the internet to download firmware and other apps.

 

If you try pinging database.clamav.net it is succeeding with no errors.

Ok.  But in your earlier post it resolved to a different IP address

Can't connect to port 80 of host database.clamav.net (IP: 74.115.25.14)

The 74.x.x.x. address doesn't respond to ping.

 

Perhaps try freshclam again, and see if it resolves the the same IP address as ping.

 

Are you using multiple ethernet connections?  If so, which bonding mode are you using?

Re: ReadyNAS antivirus stopped updating Readynas 3138 Firmware 6.9.3

Two nic ports are being used in bond mode IEEE 802.3ad LACP. If I try pinging 74.115.25.14 the screen shows 56 data bytes and the curser drops down a line  and nothing happens after that.

Freshclam had this happen:

It hangs because it isn't getting any response (unlike windows, there is no default timeout).  

 

The puzzle is why database.clamav.net is always resolving to that address.

On my NAS, it resolves to 74.115.25.14 every now and then, but mostly resolves to other IP addresses.  

 

What do you see when you enter host database.clamav.net?

 

My system shows

So it's puzzling that freshclam only wants to use 74.115.25.14.  The DNS server should be returning different addresses.

 

Did you try a reboot, and then run freshclam again?

Re: ReadyNAS antivirus stopped updating Readynas 3138 Firmware 6.9.3

You might want to try reporting this to ClamAV via https://www.clamav.net/contact and see what they say.

 

74.115.25.14 does seem to be offline - they should either bring it back to life, or remove it's DNS entry.

 

Though it is odd that your DNS resolver always ends up with that address.
