I'm sure that everyone has already seen this, but there is a security hole in all 2.2 kernels (2.2.18 and below, actually). Apparently there is a race condition with ptrace and execve. It's only a threat if someone already has shell access to your system, and this exploit will give them root. However, combined with other attacks that can get a limited shell, this could be a problem. Here is a link to the discussion, vulnerability, and exploit code: http://www.securityfocus.com/frames/?content=/templates/archive.pike%3Flist%3D1%26mid%3D171708 C-Ya, Kenny ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
