On a test server after a very long period of not detecting anything CLAM AV started reporting that it was seeing:
/clamscan/servers/mudlake/opt/Dave/nmap-4.03.tgz: Trojan.Spy-27244 FOUND /clamscan/servers/mudlake/opt/Dave/nmap-4.03/mswin32/winpcap/Packet.dll: Trojan.Spy-27244 FOUND /clamscan/servers/mudlake/opt/Dave/nmap-4.03/mswin32/winpcap/WanPacket.dll: Trojan.Spy-27239 FOUND and: /clamscan/servers/mudlake/rootdir/usr/src/packages/BUILD/nmap-4.03/mswin32/winpcap/Packet.dll: Trojan.Spy-27244 FOUND /clamscan/servers/mudlake/rootdir/usr/src/packages/BUILD/nmap-4.03/mswin32/winpcap/WanPacket.dll: Trojan.Spy-27239 FOUND /clamscan/servers/mudlake/rootdir/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/nmap-4.03.tgz: Trojan.Spy-27244 FOUND The files in these directories are unchanged since 2006 so I'm curious if this might be a false positive. I ran freshclam and re-scanned these the directories /opt/Dave and /usr/src and that didn't weed out a possible bad signature. While the person who owns /opt/Dave is currently not awake, this appears to be a 'roll your own' installation of nmap-4.03 and finding that on this system is not surprising. What worries me is that it seems to have found a match in the mswin32 directory and that this might be valid. How do I check on signature entries Trojan.Spy-27244 and Trojan,Spy-27239 for how recent they are, and is there another means to reality check this result. I am not above wiping these directories from the server, but I want to understand whether or not this is a real detection.
