[Bug 500017] New: software management: wrong digest -- are attacks that selective
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500017 Summary: software management: wrong digest -- are attacks that selective Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- wrong digest: are attacks that selective Well, it is not bug report per se, I mean I am not sure -- maybe I am under attack, but it looks a bit suspicious to me, that yast is right. For some time now, each time I run Yast/SM I get warning about this or that packages.gz that checksum is incorrect. I choose not to use that package and I continue. Next time I run Yast/SM I get another warning -- each time it is only _1_ (one) file affected. I see possible scenarios here: a) I am under attack of very subtle attack method, which is very selective, it affects only one package a time and it knows when I run yast (maybe yast is infected?) b) there is some flaw with updating packages -- so for yast it seems the checksum is changed, while in fact the whole package is changed c) my HDD is failing, and that failing is very selective -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
