Package: general
Severity: normal

Some of the source packages were caught on a gateway anti-virus scanner while
downloading.

These are the exact downloads:

http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libm/libmime-explode-perl/libmime-
explode-perl_0.39.orig.tar.gz
http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pymilter/pymilter_0.9.5.orig.tar.gz
http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libm/libmail-deliverystatus-
bounceparser-perl/libmail-deliverystatus-bounceparser-perl_1.531.orig.tar.gz
http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linkchecker/linkchecker_7.9.orig.tar.bz2

I also uploaded the archives to virustotal.com for scanning with multiple
vendors:

I looked into one of these, libmail-deliverystatus-bounceparser-
perl_1.531.orig.tar.gz, and found multipart email file containing zip
attachment. Inside this archive is a .pif file (PE32 executable for MS Windows)
which is detected as Win32.Worm.Mytob.EF.

This doesn't look like a false positive. I hope that the source packages would
be sanitized from any actual malware samples.

This is not a general bug in Debian. It *might* be bugs in the relevant source 
packages, but AFAICS these sources include these _examples_ for a reason, thus 
closing this bug. Feel free to file individual bugs against the relevant 
packages though.


cheers,
