Linux Kernel Back-Door Hack Attempt Discovered

An anonymous reader writes "The BitKeeper to CVS gateway was apparently hacked in an attempt to add a root exploit back door to the Linux kernel, according to the linux-kernel archive. The change was in the file kernel/exit.c and changed the user ID of a process to root under the guise of checking the validity of some flags. The core Linux BitKeeper kernel repository was not at risk, and in fact it was the BitKeeper CVS export scripts that detected the unauthorized modifications to CVS. The changes were falsely attributed in CVS to long-time Linux developer davem (David Miller). Users of the BKCVS repository should resync their trees to remove the offending code if they had replicated it since yesterday."

    Agent Smith shows turns the Oracle into a copy of himself. Neo and Trinity take one ship and head off to the machine city, Morpheus and the others head back to Zion. The Agent Smith who took over the guy's body in the real world blinds Neo, then Neo kills him. The ship crashes into the machine city and Trinity dies. The other ship makes it back to Zion and fires an EMP, killing a crapload of Sentinels but crippling Zion's defenses. Neo talks to the head machine, gets him to call a truce, and goes back into the matrix. Everyone in the Matrix is now an Agent Smith. He fights the one that used to be the Oracle. Smith beats Neo, then turns Neo into a copy of himself, then the Neo copy explodes, then all the Smiths explode. The remaining Sentinals in Zion go home without killing everyone, and the Matrix is reborn. Neo dies.

      But who can stand when hez in demand
      His schemes and plans
      cause we greased up on the floor in the round
      So take my strong advice, just remember to always shove it up a greased ass twice
      (do shove twice)

      He told my baby, we where anally gyrating till 3:00
      Then he looked at me, he showed me a photo
      My anal lover cried, cause his anus wasnt as wide as mine

      People always told me be careful of what you do
      And dont go around shoving Greased Yoda Dolls in you ass!
      He came and stood right up my ass.
      Then the smell of sweet anal fumes
      This happened much too soon
      He called me to his room

    GNAA Announces acquisition of SCO
    By Tim Copperfield
    New York, NY - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) today announced acquisition of The SCO Group for $26.9 million in stock and $40 million in gay niggers.

    GNAA today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property and technology assets of The SCO Group, a leading provider of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, based in Lindon, Utah. GNAA's acquisition of SCO technology will help GNAA sign up more members worldwide. In addition to developing new solutions, GNAA will use SCO engineering expertise and technology to enhance the GNAA member services.

    "I'd love to see these GNAA types slowly consumed by millions of swarming microbes and converted into harmless and useful biochemicals." said an anonymous slashdot poster, blinded by the GNAA success in achieving first post on a popular geek news website, slashdot.org.

    "This GNAA shit is getting out of hand. Slashdot needs troll filters. Or better yet a crap flood mod that I can exclude from my browsing. Seriously, a good troll is art, what you dumb fucks are doing is just plain stupid." said spacecowboy420.

    macewan, on linuxquestions said "Thanks for that link to the SCO quotes page. My guess is that they want to be bought out. Hrm, think they want GNAA to buy them??"

    After careful consideration and debate, GNAA board of directors agreed to purchase 6,426,600 preferred shares and 113,102 common shares (the equivalent of 150,803 ADSs) of SCO, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$26.9 million and approximately $40 million for gay niggers that were working in Lindon, Utah offices of The SCO Group.

    If all goes well, the final decision is to be expected shortly, followed by transfer of most SCO niggers from their Lindon, UT offices to the GNAA Headquarters in New York.
