Well well well.

I'm *not* going to tell the list that since starting with Postfix last
May, I've upgraded my kernel from 2.4.19 vanilla ACPI, to 2.6.0-test9;
upgraded my distro from RH 7.2+++++ to RH 3ES, upgraded my Openldap from
2.1.12 to 2.1.23 w/Cyrus SASL 2.1.15 digest-md5 Postfix/LDAP auxprop
support, Postfix from whatever-it-was to postfix-2.0.16-20031113 with
all-of-the-above+Lutz' TLS support, dropped Conexant HSF modem support
and implemented Xircom PCMCIA 15560A support, etc.

I *will* tell the list that I love it and owe it everything - omitting
the names of all those whom I love best, lest it should lead to feelings
of favoritism.

B.t.w: SANS Newsbytes Vol 5, Num. 48:

 --Debian Attacker Exploited Linux Kernel Vulnerability
(1 December 2003)
The attacker who breached security of several Debian group servers last
month exploited an integer overflow flaw in the brk( ) system call.
The vulnerability can allow local users with shell level access to
elevate privileges to root; the vulnerability exists in Linux kernel
release versions 2.4.0 through 2.5.69; it has been fixed in 2.4.23-pre7
and 2.6.0-test6. An exploit for the vulnerability is apparently
circulating among crackers.
