OpenSSH Vulnerability Discovered
farker haiku writes "Those of you who haven't heard of the metasploit project, it's an open source product for performing security audits. This time they've managed to find a remote buffer overflow in OpenSSH. Ya'll might want to read the link and then do whatever updating is necessary." It's unfortunate that something like this gets released today since nobody will bother to patch.
My stomach had a couple of buffer overflows last-night. It was sploited by Arthur Guinness, well known for his ingenious bowel movement exploits.
It may take a life time to fix this vulnerability :(

C'mon, I dare you to send 1025 beers my way!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I guess that this will only allow the sending of one kilobeer.

This exploit has been found to be connected to a flaw in the Beer.h library. Work to resolve this issue will be resumed shortly after those responsible are sober again.
Random complaining about April Fools. Mentioning that somehow my pathetic Slashbot life is above April Fools. Pretending that this somehow really inconviences me. Random ranting about the quality of Slashdot having degenerated. Not noting that I still seem to be here despite the supposed quality drop. More ranting, possibly about the current article. Protesting the personal problems this story has caused me. Indicating through my lack of a sense of humor that I must be from Finland. More random complaints, followed by a lack of the irony that I am so pathetic to take this joke personally.

-Signiture as unamusing as the current slashdot story.
Using the recently discovered openssh hole, hackers^Wvandales defaced the slashdot.jp page, and changed the new pink color scheme back to the old ugly green theme. Management of slashdot was not available for comment.

me spell? me not even now eigo.
Look, it's not funny anymore. No more April Fools jokes! OK!
The really unfunny thing is that this is _so_ obviously an April
Fools joke, that's it's not even remotely funny. At least the "UK
Government shutting down GSM" was a plausible story, but this...
Sheesh!

OMG lol you almost got me there for a second, i was rushing to patch my box but then i fi-#$!#@$%#@^&%
NO CARRIER
I grew up with kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes being multiples of 1024. While kilohertz, megahertz, and gigahertz being multiples of 1000. I grew up during the '90s. Normally I would post this as AC, but it's April fools day so I will post it normally (might get an insightful).

Obligatory claim to be sick of this type of rant. Nitpicking of missing characteristics tied cleverly into a logical ambush that others visit anyway. Faux disgust at perceived "racist" joke". Redundant yet Insightful reminder that you aren't forced to come here. Lone two-word expletive and/or insult and/or personality criticism whose position and abruptness will surely send parent into depression.
Thinking about how common it is for an average slashdotter to RTFA, this could actually lead to people blindly jumping into their car and speeding away to "patch those boxxors". Nice one!
I must admit from reading the title my heart missed a beat. Theres's gotta be something real on 1.april, no ?

No reason to worry - just use iptables:
iptables -I INPUT 1 -mlength --length 0:1024 --protocol beer -j DONTPAY
Your complaints were addressed here.
