(Note: I am the Debian maintainer for chkrootkit) Hi Alexander, I have just built a fixed package for Hardy in my PPA:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fmarier/ubuntu hardy main Could you try it out and let me know if you think it's fine. I have attached a debdiff between the package that's in Hardy and the one I just built. As you can see, this is a trivial fix and I can't see it having any impact at all on the rest of the package. Aside from the patch being safe, I think that this fix would qualify for a Stable Release Update since the problem that Alexander reported could lead to loss of user data depending on which process is actually killed by chkrootkit (for example, a mail server, open office, etc.). This is fixed in the version of chkrootkit that's in intrepid, so it's only a problem for the current LTS release of Ubuntu. ** Attachment added: "Debdiff of the package in my PPA" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18303010/chkrootkit_sru.diff -- chkrootkit kills random processes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279752 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
