 Log Message:
 Update fprot-workstation-bin to version 4.5.3.
 This addresses PR#29271.
 Changes include:
 
 Version 4.5.3 adds a new commandline switch to f-protd, '-fullreport'
 and new possible summary codes (see man page for details).
 
 Version 4.5.2 is a bugfix release; f-protd would misidentify .pdf files
 and block them from being delivered.
 
 Version 4.5.1 is a bugfix release to fix a bug in scan-mail.pl where
 scan-mail.pl would exit after first scan request on some unix platforms,
 because of differing signal mechanism between BSD and SysV
 
 Version 4.5.0 contains various bugfixes and improvements to the
 documentation and software.
 
 o       check-updates.pl has been modified. It now identifies itself with a
         unique user-agent string containing information on OS, kernel and
         architecture.
 o       contains a major overhaul of the virus scanning engine
         (new engine version 3.16.1).  These changes improve its
         detection capabilities.  The engine can now better detect and
         handle executable packers, often used by malware authors to conceal
         malicious code.
 o       includes a more generic JPEG GDI+ exploit detection
 o       includes EMF/WMF image format exploit detection
 o       encrypted executables inside archives are now reported as
         "could be a suspicious file (encrypted program in archive)",
         previously reported as "could be a security risk".
 o       The argument switch "-archive" has been changed to support the form
         "-archive=n" where n is a non-negative integer. This causes f-prot
         to scan only n levels deep into nested archives of supported types in
         order to protect against 'arhcive-bombs'.
         The old form "-archive" is still supported, although depreciated, and
         implies n==5. See the man page for details.
 o       Minor modifications in the DTD for the f-prot daemon XML.
 o       Bugfix where f-prot would return IO_ERROR when attempting to scan
         unsupported partial archive files, e.g. .z01 files
 o       Improved RAR support. F-Prot fully supports rar versions 1.5, 2.0 and
         2.6 and partially supports rar 2.9 (doesn't support RAR Virtual
         Machine and the PPM model features)
