Arch User Repository hit by more malware |
 |
Two weeks ago we shared news that multiple packages in the Arch User Repository, an optional community add-on repository for Arch Linux, had been been found to contain three packages containing malware. This week another attacker tried to compromise users' machines using a modified Google Chrome package. Linuxiac reports: "It's pretty shocking that this time around, the situation is almost exactly the same - a package called google-chrome-stable doesn't just install Google's browser, but also runs a RAT on your system. That kind of malware can potentially give attackers control over the infected machine, letting them steal data, install more malicious software, or spy on users." The offending package has since been removed. This is an important reminder that while the AUR is popular, it is also not monitored or verified by the Arch Linux team.
