Debian Locks Out Developers
daria42 wrote in with an update to an earlier story about a Debian server that was compromised. He explains: "The Debian GNU/Linux project has discovered a compromised developer account was used to gain access to a server compromised this week. A local kernel vulnerability was then used to gain root access. Due to this, a number of developers with weak passwords have been locked out of their system accounts." To be fair, they'll most likely be let in once everything's back to normal. Of course, they'll probably need to set safer passwords too.
read today that microsoft said they were coming after linux , ibm and google and wipe the earth with them in the enterprise ...hmmmmm
Please kill yourself. Thanks.
Huuuuurr!! You are so awesome dude!! Actually, no, you are a total fuscking faggot. And, for what it is worth, I hope you die. Soon.
First Post: Unless Debian is doing something very stupid like keeping passwords in clear text, hashing passwords reversibly, hashing passwords to their original length, or something else equally amateurish(sp).... Then the vulnerability is in fact in the Debian system, in their management's soul, & they have some pretty bad techs...
Second Post: And I was not knocking the Debian code, just the management errors that led to this particular problem.
see here - take special note of definition 3.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face
Fuck you. Forget about OpenSSH and PAM. It'll never happen. As I said, fuck you motherfucker.
