[SOLVED] Tiger output: kernel checksums don't match?

[doas777]

Hello all,

I've just run tiger security scanner, and checked out the log file. Most of it is pretty innocuous or Hardy-specific, but there are a few failures that concern me.

These messages seem to say that the kernel(s) i have installed does not match the checksums:

I also notice these messages:

#

# Checking device permissions...

# FAIL [dev002f]/dev/log has world permissions

# FAIL [dev002f]/dev/nvidia0 has world permissions

# FAIL [dev002f]/dev/nvidiactl has world permissions

so does anyone have any ideas on what to do about this (or is it a non-issue)? I would like to be able to clear up the world permissions issue if nothing else. Also if someone else could replicate these same messages, I would feel much better about it.

I've attached my tiger log in it's entirety. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Folks!

I can confirm I am receiving the same messages about kernel checksums after running tiger.

Is this something I should worry about?

I wish I could say no, but I am quite reassured that someone is able to confirm the messages. the checksum failure indicates that the module may have been tampered with.

I've been operating under the assumption that it's a system specific false-positive, as I have no real reason to believe that my system has been rooted. but then again, if it's a decent kit, I wouldn't ever know it was there.

if we can find another willing person to run tiger on a system with 2.6.24.19, we can probably call it solved.

Thanks for responding. you are most likely safe, and I feel a little better about it.

have fun,
Franklin

I get the same message on a fresh clean installation of Intrepid Alpha5, I also get the message on my server running hardy, so I would say it is safe to ignore it.
