Rhash contains trojan?

[unmasked]

Anyone else getting this:

/usr/bin/rhash infected: Trojan.Linux.GenericKD.26503

I’ve been getting it for a couple of weeks now. I can’t delete it, it’s required by cmake which I sometimes use for compiling stuff.

I ran it through ‘Virus Total’ and it says 15/66 regard it as a threat. My main AV is bitdefender for unices. I also have clam, but that doesn’t detect it as malicious.

because it isn’t

… you have heard of false positives?
(like so many of the covid tests )

Well Anti-Viruses are not perfect. Probably outdated database. At some point or somewhere it was used in combination with a harmful activity. The entry was not checked manually with some antiviruses and remained marked as a Trojan.

So false positive in my eyes.
