Description redhat 2018-07-16 11:50:23 UTC

Description of problem:
Package libkcapi-hmaccalc contains dot-files (aka hidden files) and rkhunter is complaining about these files. Are these files necessary?

# rpm -ql libkcapi-hmaccalc
/usr/bin/.sha1hmac.hmac
/usr/bin/.sha224hmac.hmac
/usr/bin/.sha256hmac.hmac
/usr/bin/.sha384hmac.hmac
/usr/bin/.sha512hmac.hmac

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libkcapi-1.1.1-1.fc28

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run rkhunter
2.
3.

Actual results:
Warning: Hidden file found: /usr/bin/.sha1hmac.hmac: ASCII text
Warning: Hidden file found: /usr/bin/.sha224hmac.hmac: ASCII text
Warning: Hidden file found: /usr/bin/.sha256hmac.hmac: ASCII text
Warning: Hidden file found: /usr/bin/.sha384hmac.hmac: ASCII text
Warning: Hidden file found: /usr/bin/.sha512hmac.hmac: ASCII text


Expected results:
No warning.

Additional info:
Either remove these files from the package or whitelist them in rkhunter data.

Comment 1 Ondrej Mosnacek 2018-07-16 13:49:05 UTC

These files are needed for FIPS integrity check of the sha*hmac binaries. They are marked as hidden because they are not executable files. It is also possible to use a different location for them where they wouldn't need to be hidden, but it will need some work. I had planned to do that eventually anyway, so I'll get back to it now (at least one other person has already complained about it).
