Summary
Updated chkrootkit packages fix CVE-2014-0476 and a false positive
Details

Updated chkrootkit package fixes security vulnerability:

The chkrootkit script contains a flaw that allows a local attacker to create an executable in /tmp that will be run by the user running chkrootkit (usually root), allowing the attacker to escalate privileges (CVE-2014-0476).

The Mageia 3 update also eliminates the false positive identification of a rootkit in /sbin/init (mga#6699).
