Description Dave Jones 2013-12-19 16:02:14 UTC

rkhunter notified me about this weird symlink in /dev

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Dec 18 13:55 /dev/dev/resume -> ../../sda2

I'm not sure what creates it, as its unowned, so I'm starting with dracut.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2013-12-19 16:11:05 UTC

well spotted, thanks!

*** Bug 1047068 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 3 g. artim 2014-01-20 01:41:08 UTC

got same error after apply patch to /modules.d/95resume/parse-resume.sh,
rebooted:

[gartim@genepi2 ~]$ ls -la  /dev/dev/resume 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 19 17:32 /dev/dev/resume -> ../../vda3

no ../../vda3 exist, rkhunter is giving me a false position (me hope) the GasKit Rootkit warning.

Comment 4 John Horne 2014-01-21 22:20:29 UTC

Agreed. Applying the git patch made no difference at all. The broken link is still there.

Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2014-01-22 10:13:20 UTC

(In reply to John Horne from comment #4)

did you run:

# dracut -f

afterwards?

Comment 6 John Horne 2014-01-22 11:42:28 UTC

No... but I have now, and the link (and /dev/dev directory) have gone.

Thanks for that.

Comment 7 g. artim 2014-01-22 18:07:39 UTC

yep!! worked perfectly after
 dracut -f
 systemctl reboot
thanks much!

Comment 8 Didier G 2014-03-16 15:43:02 UTC

Looking for rkhunter bug and /dev/dev/resume I find this entry.

At this time, new dracut rpm dracut-034-80.git20140122.fc20 is available on koji but it seens this package has not be pushed on testing or update...

Comment 9 Didier G 2014-03-16 15:52:08 UTC

I updated to dracut-034-80.git20140122.fc20.x86_64 from koji

I also updated dracut-config-rescue and dracut-network for constitency.

Then I run dracut -f and rebooted.

This fixed rkhunter problem.
