ClamAV cannot access files

Question

I've a server (CentOS 7) with ClamAV installed. clamdscan is running every 12 hours and for some files, I'm always getting the following message:

ClamAV has failed to run. The return error message was: An error occurred.

WARNING: /var/www/html/data/durchfhren.pdf: Can't access file

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 8460865

End Date: 2021:08:26 11:23:58

It looks like ClamAV tries to scan files that doesn't exist. The file is named "durchführen.pdf", but ClamAV tries to scan "durchfhren.pdf" It looks like ClamAV is having any problems scanning files with umlauts.

Is anyone having an idea what causes this issue or how I can solve it?

Can you provide the filesystem type you're using that the path `/var/www/html/data` is on? — Matthew Ife, Aug 26 '21 at 09:37
Can you run `stat /var/www/html/data/durchführen.pdf` and provide the output? — Matthew Ife, Sep 06 '21 at 13:42

If you don't have special permission seems SELinux permission, it related to size or maxdeep search configuration in clamdscan.conf Configuration sample:

StreamMaxLength 3000M

MaxScanSize 3000M

MaxFileSize 3000M

We're using CentOS. So SELinux is enabled but there's no "clamdscan.conf" file in the system. So I guess it's using the default configuration. – Nrgyzer Sep 06 '21 at 10:07
