I don't know much about Windows and there there are 12 other advisories more impactful that Badlock this month - but Red Hat is and has taken the Linux related vulnerabilities *very* seriously - which is a good thing, it means no shellshocked/heartbleed repeat, patches on time and no real risk.
"Working closely with the community over many months, Red Hat engineers have been heavily involved in the process of analyzing and developing Samba patches for Badlock-associated issues," Josh Bressers, security strategist at Red Hat sad.
The linked story is factually incorrect. Red Hat (and others) have publicly stated that this isn't a flaw at all but is in fact an expected and specified feature of PolicyKIt.
I spoke with Red Hat on this, which is something that neither of the linked articles in this/. post did. It's not a flaw at all.
Also check out Red Hat Knowledgebase article on this too.
A report has been released detailing an issue that the reporter is naming "Grinch". This report incorrectly classifies expected behavior as a security issue.
There is a big distinction that you need to understand here, the Width of the Server chassis is changing, not the width of the rack itself. The outer dimension of the Server Rack is staying at 24 inches. The REAL problem was a bogus amount of extra cruft in the rack design that is going to be eliminated to make way for the wider servers.
Mozilla was the first browser vendor to patch.
SURE they could have told us exactly what they were patching, but they erred on the side of caution.
The fact that they want to be OPEN about everything is just a bonus and it's what differentiates Mozilla from every other browser vendor.
the best part of the Firefox 3.6 update is that it's offered to existing 3.5.x users. Not one of those weird 'major updates' like 3.5 was - which is why there are still 3.0.x users out there running old browsers.
Actually not that long ago, i dug out my old Apple IIe and got it to boot up.
I found some tutorials online (and a YouTube vid or two) and now it's running Gentoo

The eWeek story got it wrong. Internetnews.com got it right.
From their article:
"in an interview with internetnews.com, Howells admitted that he lacked that empirical evidence to back up his allegation.
"All we've got is the raw statistics," Howells said. "We expected general trends to be similar, but what we saw was a big divergence going from the two platforms being almost the same to one tripling in size. We were looking at various reasons for that, and there may be a number of reasons for that but we don't actually know the specific reason."
Among the other reasons why Red Hat users may well have increased is the emergence of a new Red Hat release -- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL) -- which was released in mid-March just a few weeks ahead of when the Alfresco study began. Novell on the other hand had no similar product launch event at any point near the Alfresco study.

So all they did was drop an OC-192 connection into this ladies home.
woohoo.
I've got OC-192 IN MY office..if i had money to burn i'm sure i could get the same provider to wire to my house too.
The Canadian Government has helped SG-1 production in Vancouver with a whole whack of incentives.
Maybe the govt can get the Space Network in Canada together with some federal funds to produce season 11.
That's the real interesting part of this - Red Hat doesn't have a license, neither does Mandriva.
Novell does.
So if it's good enough for Red Hat not to have a license than it's good enough for me.
It was all in the MOzilla advisory and if you looked at it you would it there. Secunia is just taking advantage of the situation claiming they've "discovered" 8 new items. F'ing profiteers.
The ZDNET/C|net buggers barely scratched the surface..
Here's a link to the full text of the so called, Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims, dated as of July 16, 2004, by and between Microsoft Corporation and Lindows, Inc as filed with the SEC.
Here's an idea, instead of kowtowing to Bill, why not promote the fact that PHP will run smoothly on Mono's implementation of.NET? There is no question that PHP 5 is a superior choice for open source developers so why not embrace it? Or is that something that your bosses at Novell won't let you do?

Ever since IBM stopped contributing this Xen two years ago, the pace of Xen development has been pathetic. Not sure why this project is still alive.
It's only optimization of images, css and some caching,..but still pretty COOL.
the people that put on this study have some wrong stats. According to VeriSign's own data there are just over 192 million domain names registered now. No idea where that figure of 250 million came from but it's not correct.

There is a full interview with Surman about some of the specific drumbeat projects at: http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3857436/Mozilla-Drumbeat-Aims-to-Expand-Web-Participation.htm There is an open p2p university and an open web privacy logo initiative that are kinda cool. An od ya Mozilla is investing $1 million into this too.
with single speaker mono there isn't much of a difference - but try the same test with multiple speakers and there is a clear difference

when they see a bunny dude -- typos suck. Go get yourself a shrubbery.
wonder what they'll do when they a bunny

exactly right. if VA had proper protocols and procedures in place it wouldn't have mattered if the employee was on or off site

what the fck? Haven't they ever heard of privilege escalation attacks??
obviously spelling not a strong point for these braniacs

This service will end up the same as Supernova eventually. The only way a p2p torrent service will ever survive is if it is GNU/GPL.
guess it's high time then that we swipe a klingon bird of prey then and save the whales..before they come back to destroy us !!
