Gentoo rsync server compromised
Erm well, http://savannah.gnu.org says
"On December 1st, 2003, we discovered that the "Savannah" system, which
is maintained by the Free Software Foundation and provides CVS and
development services to the GNU project and other Free Software
projects, was compromised at circa November 2nd, 2003.
The compromise seems to be of the same nature as the recent attacks on
Debian project servers; the attacker seemed to operate identically.
However, this incident was distinctly different from the modus
operandi we found in the attacks on our FTP server in August 2003. We
have also confirmed that an unauthorized party gained root access and
installed a root-kit ("SucKIT") on November 2nd, 2003."
