    I learned about theregister.co.uk a long time ago becuase of slashdot. Now we have a billion choices for slashboxes but how come we dont have one for the reg? Every /. reader worth their salt reads the reg and its time it got a slashbox. While we are at it lets add theinquirer.net as well.
    This would be a boon for every linux and hardware buff.

    Compendium of *nix lpd vulnerabilities
    By Thomas C Greene in Washington
    Posted: 07/11/2001 at 07:24 GMT

    So many vulnerabilities affecting the lpd (line printer daemon) have come to light in recent months that CERT/CC has issued a compendium advisory urging all users and admins to review their system configurations and patch status.

    "All of these vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. In most cases, they allow an intruder to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the lpd server," CERT explains.

    A table provided in the above advisory references systems with their correponding individual advisory.

    Affected systems include:

    --BSDi BSD/OS Version 4.1 and earlier
    --Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 and 2.1r4
    --FreeBSD All released versions FreeBSD 4.x, 3.x, FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE, 3.5.1-STABLE prior to the correction date
    --Hewlett-Packard HP9000 Series 700/800 running HP-UX releases 10.01, 10.10, 10.20, 11.00, and 11.11
    --IBM AIX Versions 4.3 and AIX 5.1
    --Mandrake Linux Versions 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1
    --NetBSD 1.5.2 and earlier
    --OpenBSD Version 2.9 and earlier
    --Red Hat Linux 6.0 all architectures
    --SCO OpenServer Version 5.0.6a and earlier
    --SGI IRIX 6.5-6.5.13
    --Sun Solaris 8 and earlier
    --SuSE Linux Versions 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2

    Quite a list -- no doubt soon to be framed on Bill Gates' office wall. ®
