I'm glad I could put you at ease, Nick :-)

I've been working on this for a week [compiling, installing, testing,
repeat]... (my box isn't really standard redhat -- sort of a mixed beast)

Currently, I just finished installing/configuring the latest version of
SNORT and guardian on my system as well as updating the latest worm rules in
/etc/snort/ to detect and block infected servers.


BTW, do you run mod_ssl/apache?

"rpm -qa | grep mod_ssl"

Make sure that it is updated as well.

Trevor.

>From the changelog: (via rpm -q --changelog)

* Thu Aug 01 2002 Nalin Dahyabhai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.9.6b-28

- update asn patch to fix accidental reversal of a logic check

* Mon Jul 29 2002 Nalin Dahyabhai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.9.6b-25

- add patch to fix ASN.1 vulnerabilities

Wow!! That gives me a ton of information!  That completely puts me at ease
about the openssl exploit and Slapper.worm.  Also it seemed lots of people
on this list were questioning if 0.9.6b-28 was really safe or not.... So I
got it directly from RedHat's mouth (so to speak)

"rpm -q --changelog openssl | grep ASN" can tell you the same thing...
without the tech support <grin>.
