I thought I should run a rootkit in connection to the recent Debian apt vulnerability, which I think I have fixed though. I used chkrootkit and get these two lines, which I'm not sure what to do with:

Checking `lkm'...                                           find: ‘/proc/7952/task/7952/net’: Invalid argument
find: ‘/proc/7952/net’: Invalid argument

They stand out in the otherwise clean listing.

  • Are those the full error messages from GNU find? The findutils source code shows no instance of that format being used. It's always Invalid argument ... to -size etc. I.e., it mentions which option received the invalid argument. Also GNU find tends to use a backtick for the opening quote: ` somename' Commented Jan 26, 2019 at 17:59
  • @Kusalananda I don't even know if find is applied here. There's a number of different tests chkrootkit performs and these lines are included in the output. That's all I know. Commented Jan 26, 2019 at 18:03
