Description of problem: python36-impacket-0.9.22-3.el7.noarch.rpm” package detected as a malicious file by an Anti-virus tool Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python36-impacket-0.9.22-3.el7 How reproducible: When we sync EPEL repos on Red Hat Satellite Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a Custom repo from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/ 2. sync the repos to store in the local filesystem 3. Scan the system through Anti-virus Actual results: Anti-virus/Scanner detected this package as a virus/malicious file Expected results: Anti-virus tools should not be detected as a virus if this package does not have any harmful content, Additional info: According to the RPM package details Python3 package of python-impacket. Impacket is a collection of Python classes focused on providing access to network packets. Impacket allows Python developers to craft and decode network packets in simple and consistent manner. It is highly effective when used in conjunction with a packet capture utility or package such as Pcapy. Packets can be constructed from scratch, as well as parsed from raw data. Furthermore, the object oriented API makes it simple to work with deep protocol hierarchies.
Please can you provide more details on what exactly has been detected as malicious and by which antivirus? Some tools from this package implement specific windows features and protocols like WMI, SMB to be called from linux system to windows environment. I agree that some of these tools should be classified as "Potentially Unwanted Application" as they are often (mis)used by hackers for doing the remote calls to windows environment (smbexec/wmiexec/psexec/atexec). But tools are not malicious as such and its presence or event execution on the linux system is not causing any risk to the system.
