Ubuntu

Are possible bugs in old versions (ex. 5.10 breezy) still being looked at?

Asked by Omair Waheed

I downloaded some old versions of ubuntu from https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/.
I'd like to look at two specific versions: ./breezy/ and ./dapper/.

When I ran a MS Defender scan at those files, it showed that Exploit:O97M/DDEDownloader.C and Backdoor:PHP/Remoteshell!MSR are present in several files.

I have created a pastebin with the information: https://pastebin.com/83kGWFB0

Please advise if these files are to be removed or if there was a false positive.
Note: When I downloaded them initially, I did not confirm if the hash values were matching, that may be a possible cause.
Please advise on next steps,
Thanks,

Title can probably be changed. I wasn't sure what to call it, so I said bug.

You answered your own question. Compare the sha256 sums. If they match, then it's almost certainly Windows Defender giving you false positives.

Hi,

Turns out it was defender giving false positive.
Thanks,
