[cobalt-users] Security Alert on MIPS based Cobalt Servers

["Franklin S. Werren" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All;

If you leave port 81 open to the net and use a MIPS
based Cobalt server, Raq 1 and 2? Qubes etc...
you may leave yourself open to compromises....

I did not find it on a Intel base RAQ3i
I did not check a RAQ 2 but I suspect it is the same

Try this www.yourdomain.com:81./cobalt
www.yourdomain.com:81/.cobalt/install 
www.yourdomain.com:81/cobalt/siteManage

You can use any Cobalt Domain....
Not just the Main domain but virtual domains

I found it on my Qube 2...Real Cute!!!
I do not let port 81 to connect outside my LAN.
so I have access to all the port 81 admin functions

I like my Qube but I think Cobalt has been real sloppy
with a proven OS like RedHat Linux.

I do not know how to fix this yet.....
