Issue Watchdog - rkhunter: Different problems

P_heck

Basic Pleskian
Environment:
OS‪Debian 7.11‬ProductPlesk Onyx
Version 17.5.3 Update #15, last updated on July 25, 2017 06:27 AM

I have used the Debian rkhunter package version 1.4.0 on another server and it works fine. On my Plesk server, I want to use the version shipped with Plesk but encounter the following problem:

  1. Mail is not send.

    Mail is configured using the default settings:

    Code:
    MAIL_CMD=/opt/psa/admin/bin/modules/watchdog/send-mail

    E-Mail address (here anonymized) is set to:

    When switching to the default rkhunter setting:

    Code:
    MAIL_CMD=mail -s "[rkhunter] Warnings found for ${HOST_NAME}"

    I get the following error:

    Code:
    -s=[rkhunter] contains invalid character '['

    Changing the original command in the rkhunter.conf file to

    Code:
    MAIL_CMD=mail -s "rkhunter Warnings found for ${HOST_NAME}"

    doesn't change anything (Strange).

    Why is mail not being send? Normal Watchdog weekly mails are received.

  2. Warning in rkhunter.log:

    Code:
    [15:17:05]   /opt/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/rkhunter.conf     [ Warning ]
    [15:17:05] Warning: Package manager verification has failed:
    [15:17:05]          File: /opt/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/rkhunter.conf
    [15:17:05]          The file hash value has changed

    How can I update the hash value?

    Always performed a
    Code:
    /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/modules/watchdog/rkhunter --update --propupd

    after changing the rkhunter.conf file.

  3. Warning in rkhunter.log:
    Code:
    [15:17:42]   Checking for suspicious shared memory segments  [ Warning ]
    [15:17:42] Warning: The following suspicious shared memory segments have been found:
    [15:17:42]          Process:     PID: 29900    Owner: magicspam
    [15:17:42]          Process:     PID: 27522    Owner: root
    [15:17:42] Info: Found process pathname '/usr/lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2': it is whitelisted.

    I checked the processes with this script to determine the process: linuxplayer/who_attach_shm.pl at master · curu/linuxplayer · GitHub

    Output:
    Code:
    ################################################################################
    shm attach process list, group by shm key
    ################################################################################
    
    0x00000000:    /opt/psa/admin/sbin/modules/magicspampro/magicspam-daemon
    0x0102321d:    /usr/lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2
    
    
    ################################################################################
    process shm usage
    ################################################################################
    /opt/psa/admin/sbin/modules/magicspampro/magicspam-daemon [1]:    0x00000000
    /usr/lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2 [1]:    0x0102321d

    So I whitelisted these processes in the rkhunter.conf file:
    Code:
    ALLOWIPCPROC=/usr/lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2
    ALLOWIPCPROC=/opt/psa/admin/sbin/modules/maagicspampro/magicspam-daemon

    But the warning stays. Anything I have done wrong?

Thanks in advance for any helpful hint!

Cheers Peter
