Details
The prelinking feature changes binaries in an attempt to decrease their startup time.
*Rationale*
The prelinking feature can interfere with the operation of AIDE, because it changes
binaries. Prelinking can also increase the vulnerability of the system if a malicious user is
able to compromise a common library such as libc.
Solution
Run the command-# /usr/sbin/prelink -uato restore binaries to a normal, non-prelinked state, then remove prelink-# apt-get purge prelink
