rkhunter querry...

[darms21]

After running rkhunter results came back with a warning:

Checking /dev for suspicious file types [ Warning ]
[00:08:33] Warning: Suspicious file types found in /dev:
[00:08:33] /dev/shm/pulse-shm-2769096950: data


Is this an false positive or is there something I need to do to fix the vulnerability?

It's a false positive.

The matter is discussed in this thread ...

It also details how to teach rkhunter to ignore it.

Phill.
