Security, April 27 (Friday)
SecurityFocus has released ( http://lwn.net/daily/lpdw0rm.php3 ) their
analysis of a new worm, lpdw0rm. This particular worm is targeted at systems
running unpatched versions of Red Hat Linux 7.0 that are running the LPRng
service, one of the vulnerabilities that previous worms have also targeted.
Installing Red Hat's patch for LPRng (
http://lwn.net/2000/1005/a/sec-lprng-rh.php3 made available back in October)
will prevent a system from being successfully attacked.
