Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.48-5
Severity: important

My nightly chkrootkit now gives this error:

  chkdirs [-n] dir ...
  chkdirs: Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed

If I run 'chkrootkit -x' I see that it's running chkdirs.  Poking
in the code, I see that it's going to run chkdirs with a series of
directory arguments, so to simulate that I tried running it by hand:

  $ cd /usr/lib/chkrootkit
  $ ./chkdirs /tmp
  chkdirs [-n] dir ...

Same error.  Marked as important since this is going to spam anybody
who's running chkrootkit in a daily sweep, and false securiy spam is
bad news.
