I have installed Sophos for Ubuntu and it has been working fairly well until I decided to try Flatpak.
When installing or updating anything using Flatpak, I now get this pop up:
with this corresponding error on the terminal:
********************** Sophos Anti-Virus Alert *****************
Error scanning file
"/var/tmp/flatpak-cache-6TPQJ0/org.freedesktop.Platform.Locale-
37ALJ0/repo-WTmN4b-lock".
Access to the file has been denied
Searching the Google webs didn't really give me anything except this note on Github https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3512
Any suggestions to how to whitelist or otherwise ignore these files?
$ flatpak --version
Flatpak 1.4.3
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="19.10 (Eoan Ermine)"
ID=ubuntu
VERSION_ID="19.10"
The savlog or syslog might give more information about what error SAV is hitting trying to scan the files.
/opt/sophos-av/bin/savlog -100
tail /var/log/syslog
It's likely that the files will need to be excluded, which you can using savconfig
/opt/sophos-av/bin/savconfig exclude /var/tmp/flatpak-cache-*
