Description P D 2020-12-04 05:43:42 UTC

Description of problem:

On Fedora 33 with latest updates installed via DNF, chkrootkit thinks /usr/bin/chsh is infected, and displays the INFECTED warning.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

chkrootkit-0.53-4.fc33.x86_64
util-linux-user-2.36-3.fc33.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run chkrootkit
2. Look at the logs
3. Notice the line "Checking `chsh'... INFECTED"

Actual results:

Chkrootkit claims chsh is infected.

Expected results:

Chkrootkit should not falsely claim this executable is infected. (I'm assuming this is a false positive, I have experienced the same issue on two machines)

Additional info:

Chkrootkit is old and probably unmaintained so issues like this will arise from time to time.

Emailed upstream maintainers.

Comment 2 Gwyn Ciesla 2020-12-08 14:35:23 UTC
