chkrootkit 0.55-2 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
chkrootkit (0.55-2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Richard Lewis ]
* Move configuration to /etc/chkrootkit/chkrootkit.conf and manage
it as a conffile rather than via debconf
* This enables various improvements to /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit:
- Improved default filtering and make filtering fully customisable
(Closes: #630880, #666989, #669333, #677315, #877666, #488558).
- run under ionice if possible (Closes: #745431)
* Remove messages "OooPS, not expected" messages from
chkproc by re-increasing MAX_PROCESSES to the upstream
value (Closes: #982998) and preventing chkproc sending kill signals
to processes to see if they might be malicious. (patches 55, 55a)
This does re-disable a test for Enye LKM.
* Prevent ckrootkit hanging when invoked from an LXC container
(Closes: #872379), thanks to Scott Barker for identifying the issue
(patch 61).
* Various improvement to the output of chkrootkit
- stop merging output of sniffer test into a single line so '-s'
can be used as intended (patch 60)
- fix the test of sshd so it runs when sshd is found
instead of when it is not (patch 56)
- ensure rexedcs tests produces any output when it finds
something suspicious (patch 60)
- ensure output lines up, especially if '-q' is not present
- remove spurious spaces (patch 53, 54, 55a,57, 58)
- do not list directories twice in list of 'suspicious' files (patch 59)
and show output when -q not given (patch 25a)
- fix spelling error in chkdirs output (patch 52)
- further improvements to output of 'chkrootkit -h' (edits to
patch 26, patch 26a)
* Remove bashism from d/25_fix-nfs-legacy-sniffers.patch.
(Closes: #994153).
* Documentation copy-edited for grammar (and occaisional accuracy)
* Update dependencies so that packages whose binaries are tested are listed
in 'Enhances' and add iproute2 as a preferred alternative to net-tools
* Update documentation of earlier patches (1-51), recording
which have been sent upstream
* Add some autopkgtests

* Update copyright file.

- chkrootkit: rootkit detector
The chkrootkit security scanner searches for signs that the system is
infected with a 'rootkit'. Rootkits are a form of malware that seek
to exploit security flaws to grant unauthorised access to a
computer or its services, generally for malicious purposes.
.
chkrootkit can identify signs of over 70 different rootkits (see the
project's website for a list).
.
Please note that an automated tool like chkrootkit can never
guarantee a system is uncompromised. Nor does every report always
signify a genuine problem: human judgement and further investigation
will always be needed to assure the security of your system.
