 ClamAV 1.0.7 is a patch release with the following fixes:
 
+- [CVE-2024-20506](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-20506):
+  Changed the logging module to disable following symlinks on Linux and Unix
+  systems so as to prevent an attacker with existing access to the 'clamd' or
+  'freshclam' services from using a symlink to corrupt system files.
+
+  This issue affects all currently supported versions. It will be fixed in:
+  - 1.4.1
+  - 1.3.2
+  - 1.0.7
+  - 0.103.12
+
+  Thank you to Detlef for identifying this issue.
