Description Tony Schreiner 2012-06-04 15:36:22 UTC

Description of problem:
rkunter check complains with
Invalid ALLOWDEVFILE configuration option: Invalid pathname: (word)
when it encounters file names with spaces. In my case there are a few offending files:
/dev/.udev/db/drivers:Intel SCB2 BIOS Flash
/dev/.udev/db/platform:Fixed MDIO bus.0
/dev/.udev/db/drivers:Generic PHY

leading to the error messages
Invalid ALLOWDEVFILE configuration option: Invalid pathname: PHY
Invalid ALLOWDEVFILE configuration option: Invalid pathname: SCB2
Invalid ALLOWDEVFILE configuration option: Invalid pathname: BIOS
Invalid ALLOWDEVFILE configuration option: Invalid pathname: Flash
Invalid ALLOWDEVFILE configuration option: Invalid pathname: MDIO
Invalid ALLOWDEVFILE configuration option: Invalid pathname: bus.0

This looks like a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674245

This was supposed to be fixed in 1.4.x I thought, but perhaps not. 

What ALLOWDEVFILE directives do you have in /etc/rkhunter.conf ? 

Can you try: 

1. escaping the spaces with \ 
2. Putting "s around the entire path
3. Using %20 instead of space.
4. Use a wildcard (*) instead of the path part that has spaces.  

and see if any of those work?

Comment 2 Tony Schreiner 2012-06-05 14:04:27 UTC

I am using the default /etc/rkhunter.conf that came with the update.

These are all the ALLOWDEVFILE lines
#ALLOWDEVFILE="/dev/shm/pulse-shm-*"
#ALLOWDEVFILE="/dev/shm/sem.ADBE_*"
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/shm/pulse-shm-*
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/md/md-device-map
ALLOWDEVFILE="/dev/shm/mono.*"
ALLOWDEVFILE="/dev/shm/libv4l-*"
ALLOWDEVFILE="/dev/shm/spice.*"
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/.mdadm.map
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/.udev/queue.bin
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/.udev/db/*
ALLOWDEVFILE=/dev/.udev/rules.d/99-root.rules

I have added quotes
ALLOWDEVFILE="/dev/.udev/db/*"

but the issue persists

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2012-06-08 15:21:09 UTC

Would you be willing to report this upstream?

rkhunter-users.net 

If not, I will try and do so...

Comment 4 Tony Schreiner 2012-06-08 19:02:15 UTC

Will do.
