#48756: zlib @1.2.8 Infected with iPhone WireLurker malware -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: landonf@… bhavinhasmail@… | Status: new Type: defect | Milestone: Priority: Normal | Version: 2.3.3 Component: ports | Keywords: libz iPhone WireLurker WIreLurk Resolution: | malware Port: zlib | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * owner: macports-tickets@… => landonf@… * port: => zlib Comment: I don't see how the zlib port could be infected with anything. For one thing, the port hasn't been updated in any way in over 2 years; if there were a problem, it would have been reported long before now. So either your local copy of zlib on your machine was replaced with an infected copy (by something outside of MacPorts), or your virus scanner is giving you a false positive. To check whether it is the former, you could force a reinstallation of zlib by running: {{{ sudo port -n upgrade --force zlib }}} Then run your virus scanner again. If it no longer says the file is infected, then something replaced your zlib with a corrupted copy, and you should try to figure out how that happened. If it still says it is infected, I suspect a false positive, and you should report it to the maker of your antivirus software. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48756#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
