Linux Ghost vulnerability
« on: January 28, 2015, 09:19:09 PM »

I'm aware that mention of Linux vulnerabilities invariably stirs up something of a hornets' nest in resistance, sometimes making me wish I'd kept quiet.

But I'm the mischievous sort, so here's one of many reports of a new (old) one in glibc that's been causing actual grief for a good friend of mine in the industry today.   :P

Old news. Fixed yesterday -- if not earlier!  ;)
