Virus Detected on Lite 2.6 Wallpapers - vagnerafonso - 09-04-2015

Greetings,

I recently downloaded Lite 2.6 32Bit and booted it up in Virtual Box.  I grabbed all of the wallpapers located in /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce and created a .zip archive.  When I went to email that archive to myself via Gmail, Google warned me that there was a virus detected. I wanted to bring this up with the community and hopefully someone would have an answer as to why this occurred.

Thank you

You should probably include screenshots of the warning and of the actual archive.

Gmail gives false positives to err on the side of caution.  They would not take zome zipped up text files of mine for Icewm folder in ~/.icewm that I tried to save.

Gmail is weird like that.

I am not saying there might be a virus embedded in the image since I do not know yet.

Greetings,

Thank you for this information.  I've uploaded the wallpaper archive using my outlook.com account and it uploaded without issue. I appreciate the feedback and information.

Thanks

Weird how comodo, AVG,Avast,ClamAV, Eset-Nod 32, among others give a green check and pass on that file.
Not being a virus expert myself.

With the r/h devel scale practically in the middle with 0  0 on the guage.
No wonder I only use Windows to tune Motorcycles and only for that purpose.

From that list I've heared about F-prot and VIPRE.
I'm not an expert on viruses. Could be false positive.
Did the check on LL 2.2 also.

If you click on the link I provided for more info, and then click on the "File detail" tab it states:  The file being studied is an image file! More specifically, it is a JPEG. The image has been injected with malicious web content.

In the box right below that statement is what appears to be the code that was injected into the file.

Re: Virus Detected on Lite 2.6 Wallpapers - rokytnji - 09-05-2015

Trying a different route with

http://scanthis.net/

which uses

Quote:ScanThis is powered by the open source and industry-recognised Clam AV software.

because the file info is not informative at all to me . There is no .exe in it just for starters.
Since the file in question is entrance.jpg.
I am only uploading that one to be scanned presently.
It is still scanning as I type this post out. So will wait to see what is what for sure.
That injected code the other site showed was just jumbled html code which I cannot decipher.

Sure is taking a long long time to scan one .jpg. Must be a zillion virus signatures to look for I guess.

Ok. Got tired of waiting so went to

https://www.metascan-online.com/#!/results/file/c15d48726a80498490d8b8b1e8cfe6da/regular

[Image: AJHvRRd.png]

So my uneducated conclusion is that entrance.jpg in /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/entrance.jpg is tainted somehow since double checked on another site  and I am going to delete it of all my boxes/installs.

It can't hurt to do so. Plus. If you look at my screenshots. I never use the default stuff anyways.


Up to the team to decide where to take this from here. I can only speak for myself.


Because. Even after all that. You still get


Quote:[color=rgb(84, 84, 84)]Only a few scan engines detected this file as a threat. If you think it might be a false positive, [/color][color=rgb(0, 166, 221)]find out how to contact the engine vendor on our blog[/color]


Edit> I am closing the scan this tab open right now. It is still not done scanning and my patience aint what it used to be.
