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.

Making xterm not suid root



I uploaded a packaged called "ptybin" to experimental.  It has the
potential to allow xterm to run without special privileges.  This 
is of personal interest to me because I'm working on an xterm
replacement, and I found some security problems in xterm in
the process.  (I already reported those to this list).

Before I proceed I would like at least one knowledgeable person to do
a security review of the three suid-root executables in the package.
Since there are only 600 lines of source, this will probably not take
long.  I'd also like to have advance warning if my patches to xterm
are going to be rejected.

Please refer to bugs #988 and #7112 in the debian bug tracking system
if you want more context.

Thanks,

Richard Braakman
