I've been getting an increased number of lfd alerts from my dedicated server for the past 10-15 days.
They are mostly this:
and this:Code:lfd: Excessive resource usage: Account A (4039) Time: Mon Jun 8 08:25:24 2009 -0500 Account: Account A Resource: Process Time Exceeded: 10821 > 1800 (seconds) Executable: /usr/bin/perl Command Line: spamd child PID: 16580 Killed: Yes
but over the past two days a new alert:Code:lfd: Suspicious process running under user Account A PID: 5598 Account: Account A Uptime: 6131 seconds Executable: /usr/bin/perl Command Line (often faked in exploits): spamd child Network connections by the process (if any): tcp: cPanel® -> cPanel® tcp: cPanel® -> cPanel® udp: cPanel® -> 63.247.77.198:53 Files open by the process (if any): /dev/null /dev/null /dev/null /usr/bin/spamd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/VBounce.pm
The emails sampled in the LOCALRELAY alert are legitimate.Code:lfd: LOCALRELAY alert for account Account B Time: Mon Jun 8 09:28:07 2009 -0500 Type: LOCALRELAY, Local Account - Account B Count: 103 emails relayed Blocked: No Sample of the first 10 emails: 2009-06-08 09:28:03 1MDfp.... <snip>
Account A and B above are real accounts, but renamed for posting here.
Is anyone else getting this increase in alerts or is it just my server and what should I do about it?
