Hello,
I'm running clamscan because something is spamming from our server(nothink in logs :( )
Code:
clamscan -r --bell -i

outputs
Code:
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/LWP/UserAgent.pm: winnow.malware.ts.url.886558.UNOFFICIAL FOUND
/usr/portage/distfiles/libwww-perl-6.05.tar.gz: winnow.malware.ts.url.886558.UNOFFICIAL FOUND

Maybe UserAgent.pm is attackers file? Where can I find more information like what type of malware is that, what does do, etc.?

I want to remove these files. So rm /usr/portage/distfiles/libwww-perl-6.05.tar.gz and then emerge -C dev-perl/libwww-perl-6.50.0 which belongs to UserAgent.pm and then emerge dev-perl/libwww-perl-6.50.0 back?

Thank you!

There's a distinct possibility that there's a false positive here... then again everyone who has libwww-perl-6.05.tar.gz may have the problem... I haven't tested this yet however...

Theoretically if the checksum on the tar.gz file matches the Gentoo repo, then emerging it again will still test positive. Try emerge -f libwww-perl and see if it downloads the same file again...

[EDIT]

I just freshclamed and scanned my copy of libwww-perl and there's no positive report on it...

I also think this is a false positive. For example, on one of my sites, a report appeared in the hosting control panel that there are 11 files with possible problems. As a result, these turned out to be junk pages from the caching plugin, which for some reason were created so crookedly and were not deleted when the cache was rebuilt.
