Yes, with the release of 1.3.6, the application database was updated for all rkhunter releases. You got this new database via a daily cronjob ('rkhunter --update'). I have a 1.3.6 version in rawhide right now, I would like it to test for at least a few days there before pushing updates out to stable releases. In that update I am going to disable apps test by default. My reasoning: 1. The upstream list addresses upstream versions of those packages and what versions fix currently known security issues. Sometimes fedora (and often/always in epel) security fixes may be backported to an earlier version, leaving the version number not too usefull. 2. Keeping a list updated with the versions locally in the rkhunter package would mean having to push updates anytime any of the 9 applications listed are changed. 3. Keeping a list updated locally with rkhunter would also mean I would have to follow all upstream and fedora security issues for all those applications. ;( 4. Finally, just noting versions of 9 packages isn't terribly usefull. There are many more packages out there, and really staying updated is beyond the scope of rkhunter, unless it just added a 'you have pending updates, you should apply them'. Anyhow, disabling the test for now is a good idea, and with 1.3.6 it will be disabled by default. I'll leave this open for a bit, and close it when I push testing updates of 1.3.6 out.
