Package: chkrootkit Version: 0.49-4.1+deb7u2 Severity: |important Since the last upgrade of chkrootkit package from 0.49-41 to 0.49-4.1+deb7u2 I found an error on the configuration file. Configuration file seem to have been modified during last upgrade. The error was reported by mail to localhost as:
|/etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit: /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit: 2: /etc/chkrootkit.conf: hostname: not found run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit exited with return code 127 my current configuration file is: RUN_DAILY="true" RUN_DAILY_OPTS="-q | mail -s "[chkrootkit] hostname - daily report" root@localhost" DIFF_MODE="true" Investigating into the configuration file I found that the mail option had wrong double quote into command line: RUN_DAILY_OPTS="-q | mail -s "[chkrootkit] hostname - daily report" root@localhost" trying to insert a backslash before the internal double quote all seem to work: RUN_DAILY_OPTS="-q | mail -s \"[chkrootkit] hostname - daily report\" root@localhost" no error was reported and a report mail was sent to localhost - ok.

Rootkits are set of programs and hacks designed to take control of a target machine by using known security flaws. . Types that chkrootkit can identify are listed on the project's home page. . Please note that where chkrootkit detects no intrusions, this does not guarantee that the system is uncompromised. In addition to running chkrootkit, more specific tests should always be performed.
