Open source apps attacked (vnunet)
Vnunet looks at recent
security vulnerabilities in Sendmail and Snort. "Last week showed
how quickly news of vulnerabilities can be exploited to produce software
that wreaks havoc on the Net. Within 24 hours of the problems being made
public, an easy-to-use exploit program for the Sendmail vulnerability was
posted on the Bugtraq mailing list. According to Bugtraq, default
installations of Sendmail and Red Hat Linux are not vulnerable to this
particular exploit, but firms that have compiled Sendmail for use with Red
Hat 7.1, 72 or 7.3 are vulnerable."
