Details about builds:
================================================================================ chkrootkit-0.49-9.el5 (FEDORA-EPEL-2014-1575) Tool to locally check for signs of a rootkit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
A quoting issue was found in chkrootkit which would lead to a file in /tmp/ being executed, if /tmp/ was mounted without the noexec option. chkrootkit is typically run as the root user. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
The problematic part was:
file_port=$file_port $i
Which is changed to file_port="$file_port $i" to fix the issue. From the Debian diff:
