CERT: Sendmail Distribution Contained Trojan Horse

Posted by michael on from the security-starts-inside dept.

Scoria writes "According to a CERT advisory published this afternoon, the public distribution of Sendmail 8.12.6 contained a trojan horse from September 28 to October 6. For more detailed information, please consult advisory CA-2002-28." This sounds very much like what happened to OpenSSH.

    Why was this modded up as 'interesting'?

    It's some boring lamer commenting about how he almost downloaded a file. Ooooh. Ahhhhhh. Open source. Interesting!
