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.

SECURITY: [linux-alert] LSF Update#14: Vulnerability of the lpr program. (fwd)

This is a horrible mess.  The information concerning Debian is blatantly
inaccurate, and hopefully any Debian sysadmin would have enough common
sense to realise that.  Added to that, I would be *very* surprised if that
information really did come from Sven ...

We're going to have to act fast on this one, I think.  An errata to
c.o.l.a., perhaps?

                Debian

                        Debian/GNU Linux 1.1 does not use lpr program and 
                        therefore is not vulnerable. If you have installed
                        lpr package yourself, your system becomes
                        vulnerable.
