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.

Re: CERT* Advisory CA-97.16: ftpd Signal Handling Vulnerability

Oh. So is that what 

  * patch (security and PORT command)

meant? Are you sure it's not referring only to the "PORT command will allow
opening priviledged ports" problem? It'd be great if we already had the
"race condition in signal handler" one fixed before February too... just
making sure.

I'll contact AUSCERT as soon as I'm sure the hole's been fixed. As for
CERT... Does Alan's post about now being an "ex-CERT contact" mean that we
won't get asked "are you vulnerable to this" by the CERT people before they
send out their advisories? If so then I could contact CERT about becoming a
"vendor contact" for Debian GNU/Linux. Well, assuming people around here
think it's a good idea and assuming they don't require us to wait until
their advisories are ready to release our security fixes.
