Thread: PostgreSQL 9.X RPM downloads marked as malware by Google
Hi all,
Apologies if this is not the correct list - since packagers- is a closed list, this seemed like the next best place to bring this up.
A coworker just tried downloading the PostgreSQL 9.6 "Amazon Linux AMI 2015.03 - x86_64" package from the RPM download page [0] using Google Chrome.
The download fails, with a note that the file is malicious. This is described on [1] as "Malicious: You tried downloading malware.".
This same error appears to happen for all 9.X RPM packages, 8.X is fine. Other browsers don't seem to mind, and download the file just fine.
Anybody know whats going on?
For what its worth, I think this is a false positive on Google's end - but figured somebody might know how to have them correct it.
Best,
Lukas

When you talk about "PostgreSQL 9.6 "Amazon Linux AMI 2015.03 - x86_64" you are talking about the repo rpm on: https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-ami201503-96-9.6-2.noarch.rpm ? If you can still reproduce this on your end it would be good to know what exact stack you are running (chrome version, OS, ...) and what exact url(s) it is complaining about. regards Stefan

FYI, I cannot reproduce this on macOS with Chrome 54.0.2840.71 (64-bit) either. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

This seems to have resolved itself, presumably by Google fixing their list - I saw the issue on macOS, Chrome 54.0.2840.71 (64-bit).

Thanks for checking!
