Updated rkhunter package eliminates false positive on gaskit rootkit
Publication date: 26 Jun 2013Modification date: 26 Jun 2013
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 2 , 3
Description
Using rkhunter on a Mageia 2 or 3 system, the gaskit rootkit was erroneously
detected as it triggered on the presence of the directory /dev/dev which is
commonly available on Mageia systems.
Furthermore, the whitelisting of a file which no longer is present on
Mageia 3 systems would prevent rkhunter from starting properly. Other files
which should have been whitelisted were missing, resulting in warnings
appearing.
This update addresses these issues. rkhunter users are advised to install
the updated package.
