Stable release 3.2.6

Post by cazfi »

3.2.6 fixes two security vulnerabilities in savegame/scenario file handling, and number of other bugs. See the full list of changes.

Source code is available in the usual place. Compiled Windows packages aren't available yet, but should follow shortly; we'll post again here when they turn up.

At least security vendors don't have consensus about that - scan of just 2/66 vendors flagged the installer as malicious.
We see false positives from time to time - if it's my own vendor, I usually send the file for manual analysis, and then they fix their scanner not to produce such false positives.

Microsoft has removed the false flagging. :mrgreen:
At least Defender won't bug us all the time now.

I encountered the same VirusTotal detection reported above.

I downloaded the official Windows installer:

Freeciv-3.2.6-msys2-win64-10-gtk4-setup.exe

from the official Freeciv website and submitted it to VirusTotal before installing it.

Trapmine detected the file as:

“Malicious.moderate.ml.score”

VirusTotal report:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/317 ... /detection

I understand that this may be a false positive, especially since most antivirus engines do not detect anything malicious. However, as an end user, this warning made me hesitant to install the program.

Could the developers please confirm whether this exact installer has been checked and is considered safe?

I am adding my report mainly to confirm that other users are encountering the same warning.

Thank you.
