[cobalt-users] Red Hat Security Advisory - JOE - Are RaQ's at Risk?



Just a quick question -

There's a new Red Hat Security Advisory for "JOE" at http://www.linuxsecurity.com/advisories/redhat_advisory-1182.html. It says RedHat 5.2-7 is at risk, with RPM to update your systems. Last night I discovered a user trying (in vain because I already had the RPM's installed) trying to "exploit" user "joe".... (hundreds of times).. He was such a dumb-ass - I actually traced him back to another account/domain on the system, and NOW THE FUN BEGINS... (plus I just LOVE those credit cards)? hehehe..

But my question is: Are the RaQ's (3/4) valuable to this exploit..? I updated my systems with the updated RPM's, but I'm not even sure if this was inside the RaQ's, since they're so hacked-up from Cobalt from the org RedHat releases...? Just curious..? If they ARE.. User's can install those RPM's without any issue just to be safe...

Cheers!
Craig
