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
