Hi guys, the imap and pop3 demons are well known to be vulnarable against stack overflow exploits for more than one year. Even with the versions from SuSE 5.3 it is childishly simple to gain root access from the internet if you offer these services in /etc/inet.conf. A very good patch against stack overflow exploits ist available at http://www.false.com/security/linux/ Best regards -- ---------------------------------- UNIVERSITAS - - Thomas Finteis _|\ /|_ - - Institut fuer Experimentalphysik |||O O||| - - Universitaet des Saarlandes ||| V ||| - - Postfach 151150 ||| ||| - - D-66041 Saarbruecken ||| ||| - - Tel.: 0681/302-2247 |/|___|\| - - Fax : 0681/302-2947 A A - ---------------------------------- SARAVIENSIS -
