Hello!

After upgrading

  [UPGRADE] libkeyutils1:amd64 1.6-6 -> 1.6.1-2

I get the following warning with

  # rkhunter --sk -c 

in /var/log/rkhunter.log:

  Info: Starting test name 'running_procs'
    Checking running processes for suspicious files [ Warning ]
  Warning: The following processes are using suspicious files:
           Command: sshd
             UID: 0    PID: 7331
             Pathname: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkeyutils.so.1.9
             Possible Rootkit: Spam tool component

I tried to reinstall libkeyutils1/1.6.1-2, after checking the SHA256
checksum of the .deb file. The warning was issued again.

On the other hand, after downgrading to libkeyutils1/1.6-6
and restarting ssh

  # service ssh restart

the warning vanishes.


Does libkeyutils1/1.6.1-2 ship a rootkit?
Or is it a false positive from rkhunter?

Please investigate.
Thanks for your time!
