Bug ID: 44057 Summary: Gen:Adware.Heur.aq4@1meDUAh found in msctfp.dll Product: Wine-staging Version: 2.21 Hardware: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: jghodd@gmail.com CC: erich.e.hoover@wine-staging.com, michael@fds-team.de, sebastian@fds-team.de Distribution: ---
Bitdefender is reporting an adware infection in the 32-bit version of msctfp.dll:
Object '/home/jghodd/Downloads/wine-staging2/usr/lib/wine/fakedlls/msctfp.dll' is infected with 'Gen:Adware.Heur.aq4@1meDUAh' Object '/home/jghodd/Downloads/wine-staging2/wine-staging-2.21-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz=>(xz stream)=>usr/lib/wine/fakedlls/msctfp.dll' is infected with 'Gen:Adware.Heur.aq4@1meDUAh'
I also checked v2.15, v2.19 and v2.20 and all 4 versions produce this error when scanned by bitdefender.
I built out 2.20 and 2.21 myself (2.19 was an arch linux build) and have checked the source code - I'm not seeing anything suspicious so I suspect it's a false positive, but sourceforge.net uses bitdefender to check all files on its site and my distro's repositories are located on sourceforge. This is a problem, because sourceforge is blacklisting this package.
I can probably convince sourceforge to whitelist the package, but this will continue to be an ongoing issue when newer versions are uploaded to the site.
