The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Alexander,

thanks for your quick answer. To be perfectly clear if Debian is
vulnerable or not you could send my the exploit. Or compile if you
don't want to send me the sources/details.

If you don't trust me at all, then I recommend compiling the 
debian-sources on your own (I assume you don't need to install "lpr" to
test it's vulnerability). You can find the sources in the directory
"rex/source/net/lpr_5.9-12.tar.gz". 


Unfortunatly I do not have the telephone number of Sven (and there are too
many Rudolphs in dresden (germany) said the operator). I expect he answers
his e-mail on monday (he usally does so).


My own guess is that Debian _is_ vulnerable (argh!). Sven is working on
the "LRRng"-package that is in a state called "experimental" but not part
of the standard Debian distribution (not 1.1 and so far not in the
upcoming 1.2).
But I can't tell you for sure if the "lpr" is not already the one from
"netkit 0.07" or whatever.

Debian already does so.
