Does Malware analysis in Linux consumes a certain amount of space in /tmp?

Frackus

Do you know if the Malware analysis in Linux consumes a certain amount of space in /tmp?
--> I've found, random, issues related to /tmp storage on a server and it always happens in the time window where the daily scans run (between 17h and 20h approx).
Also see empty files in /tmp that are locked by application processes.

Would it be beneficial if it needs a certain fixed amount of space in /tmp

Hello @Frackus ,

Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools (BEST) for Linux does utilize the /tmp directory during installation and for specific support tool functions, but there is no official or explicit minimum storage requirement documented for /tmp itself.

Additionally, when using the integrated support tool (via bdconfigure), collected logs are archived and stored in /tmp, with the advisory that these archives should be moved if needed.

With this being said, I would advice to open a support case as @Flexx mentioned above so we can look into this and determine the root cause.

Kind Regards,

Andrei
