Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed
Posted by israr, 04-03-2013, 10:04 AM I have received the following alert from chrootkit: I am using cloudlinux / cagefs. Can someone explain what could the the issue?

Posted by richardhay, 04-03-2013, 11:48 AM Hi Israr. My experience seems different than Jing's, as LKM alerts are often false positives. (There is a whole thread on this at the cPanel forums at http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/lkm-troj...arm-24733.html). LKM is "Linux Kernel Module. Before doing anything drastic, I'd suggest running Rootkit Hunter to see if it sees a problem. If not, I'd guess that chrootkit is a bit paranoid, but you might want to have a security firm or system administrator run a security audit anyway. I hope that this helps! Richard
