Title: Linux Exploit
Post by: jazz on July 19, 2009, 03:32:25 PM

I don't use Linux but I saw this item on The Register and thought others may like to know about it.  I don't know whether it is a real problem or not but it does no harm to be aware.

Thanks for that info Jazz. The good thing about the open source world is that things like this quickly become common knowledge, and developers all over the place immediately set about finding a solution. So it probably won't end up being a real problem, but forewarned is, as they say, forearmed.
