Package: kernel-patch-openmosix Version: 1:0.3.4-7 Severity: normal Tags: security
Due to the fact that the OpenMosix kernel patch shares a significant amount of code with the Mosix kernel patch, chances are this is vulnerable in the OpenMosix patch as well. Please communicate with upstream to find out if there is a fix for this. I know you did say on IRC that the latest patch was for 2.4.26 and that there are most likely many problems with this patch, and that you "just can't get worked up over problems in 2+ year old software". If this is still true, then do the users a favor and remove this package, or put it up for adoption. If this does get fixed, please mention the CAN number in the changelog. Micah P.S. Additionally, the fact that OpenMosix is something that should *not* be run on an unsecured network should be prominantly mentioned in the docs. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kernel-patch-openmosix depends on: ii bash 3.0-15 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii grep-dctrl 2.6.7 Grep Debian package information ii kernel-patch-scripts 0.99.36 Scripts to help dealing with packa ii patch 2.5.9-2 Apply a diff file to an original Versions of packages kernel-patch-openmosix recommends: ii kernel-package 9.002 A utility for building Linux kerne -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
