possible malware in db48 port

Bitdefender has flagged two files from the db48 MacPorts port installed in my Mac, namely

/opt/local/lib/db48/libdb_cxx-4.8.dylib
/opt/local/var/macports/software/db48/db48-4.8.30_4.darwin_17.x86_64.tbz2

which seem to be infected by something called

Gen:Variant.Application.MAC.Koiot.575

Does this sound plausible, or is it more likely a false positive? In any case, I am thinking of reinstalling the port. Is this possible, and how should I proceed? (uninstall first, perhaps, but what about dependents?).

Thanks for your help,

P.S.

Here’s what ls reports about this files:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 macports  admin  1302356 Sep 27  2017 /opt/local/lib/db48/libdb_cxx-4.8.dylib
-rw-r--r--  1 macports  wheel  19951871 Mar 15  2018 /opt/local/var/macports/software/db48/db48-4.8.30_4.darwin_17.x86_64.tbz2
