Thanks. At the time of writing at VirusTotal, just three out of 76 so-called malware detection products flag an issue with the bad shared object file. Those three products are AliCloud, DrWeb, and Rising. None of the major antimalware tool vendors detect it.

This highlights the absurdity of some corporations' policies requiring that antivirus (which have many times itself suffered from security holes) be installed even on Linux systems.
