I hope you are all aware of this kernel bug that can give root privilege: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Hole-in-the-Linux-kernel-allows-root-access-850016.html
This exploit will be fixed starting with kernels 2.6.32 and up An exploit might possibly be released today, so you might want to read these instructions (for Debian): http://wiki.debian.org/mmap_min_addr you can set the problamatic value to something other than 0 with: sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr="0" This will break the following packages (according to the debian Docs): -Dosemu running as user (other than root) -Wine with win16 binaries -Bitbake -qemu running as user (other than root) David Montminy _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
