Hi folks, today I got a warning from my "Sophos Antivirus" w.r.t. MacPorts!!!
It claimed that zlib’s dylib file /opt/local/lib/libz.1.2.8.dylib carried a virus called iPh/WireLurk-G and I wonder now whether this was - actually true or - a false positive or - whether Sophos is trying to trade snake oil to me… It was very weird, that at some stage the dylib file - despite being readable - --- $ ls -l /opt/local/lib/libz.1.2.8.dylib -rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 76404 Nov 15 2013 /opt/local/lib/libz.1.2.8.dylib --- could _not_ be read by any user. Later it was readable again... Was I tricked by some OSX internals (triggered by Sophos’ quarantine workflow) or indeed by a virus? Is there a way to verify whether the files installed by port “zlib” are actually those currently to be found in MacPorts’ own archives? Are there verifiable hashes for files installed by a port somewhere?
