An update that contains one feature and has two fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for clamav fixes the following issues:

New version: 1.5.1:

  * Fixed a significant performance issue when scanning some PE files.
  * Fixed an issue recording file entries from a ZIP archive central directory
    which resulted in "Heuristics.Limits.Exceeded.MaxFiles" alerts when using
    the ClamScan --alert-exceeds-max command line option or ClamD
    AlertExceedsMax config file option.
  * Improved performance when scanning TNEF email attachments.
  * Fixed an issue with recording metadata for OOXML office documents.
  * Fixed an issue with signature matches for VBA in OLE2 office documents.
  * Loosened overly restrictive rules for embedded file identification and
    increased the limit for finding PE files embedded in other PE files.
  * Fixed an issue with extracting some RAR archives embedded in other files.
  * Fixed an issue with calculating fuzzy hashes affecting some images by
    updating the version for several Rust library dependencies.

New version 1.5.0:

  * Added checks to determine if an OLE2-based Microsoft Office document is
    encrypted.
  * Added the ability to record URIs found in HTML if the generate-JSON-metadata
    feature is enabled.
  * Added the ability to record URIs found in PDFs if the generate-JSON-metadata
    feature is enabled.
  * Added regex support for the clamd.conf OnAccessExcludePath config option.
  * Added CVD signing/verification with external .sign files.
  * Freshclam, ClamD, ClamScan, and Sigtool: Added an option to enable FIPS-like
    limits disabling MD5 and SHA1 from being used for verifying digital
    signatures or for being used to trust a file when checking for false
    positives
  * ClamD: Added an option to disable select administrative commands including
    SHUTDOWN, RELOAD, STATS and VERSION.
  * libclamav: Added extended hashing functions with a "flags" parameter that
    allows the caller to choose if they want to bypass FIPS hash algorithm
    limits.
  * See the release announcement for the full list of changes:
    https://blog.clamav.net/2025/10/clamav-150-released.html

  * Remove service symlinks: rcclamd, rcfreshclam, rcclamav-milter, and
    clamonacc.

  * clamd: Add an option to toggle SHUTDOWN, RELOAD, STATS and VERSION.
