Slackware :: H Article: Vsftpd Backdoor Discovered In Source Code?
Jul 4, 2011Before anyone panics, the source tarball for Slackware 13.37 doesn't appear to be the "bad" tarball that Chris Evans mentions here:
[URL]
Code:
$> sha256sum vsftpd-2.3.4.tar.gz
b466edf96437afa2b2bea6981d4ab8b0204b83ca0a2ac94bef6b62b42cc71a5a vsftpd-2.3.4.tar.gz
I checked str.c for the call to vsf_sysutil_extra() if the user is specified as and I also checked for the rogue shellcode in sysdeputil.c but I didn't find it, so it looks like the backdoor was uploaded recently.
[URL]
Quote:
Chris Evans, aka Scary Beasts, has confirmed that version 2.3.4 of vsftpd's downloadable source code was compromised and a backdoor added to the code. Evans, the author of vsftpd - which is described on its web site as "probably the most secure and fastest FTP server for Unix-like systems" - was alerted on Sunday to the fact that a bad tarball had been downloaded from the vsftpd master site with an invalid GPG signature. It is not known how long the bad code had been online.
The bad tarball included a backdoor in the code which would respond to a user logging in with a user name "" by listening on port 6200 for a connection and launching a shell when someone connects.Evans has now moved the source code and site to [URL] a Google App Engine hosted site. The GPL-licensed source code can be downloaded (direct download) from the same site, along with the GPG signature for validating the download, a step that Evans recommends. Evans says that the lack of obfuscation and lack of victim identification leads him to believe that "perhaps someone was just having some lulz instead of seriously trying to cause trouble".
Slackware :: Create Mount Points Automatically For Removable Drives?
Jan 9, 2010At work I use Ubuntu and one nice thing about it is that it creates mount points for removable drives automatically.
In Slackware I can set up XFCE so that it mounts drives when they are plugged in, but only if they're already specified in the fstab (which means I must have used them and set them up in advance).
This is becoming a problem now that removable usb drives of all sorts are so common.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Create A Dir That Points To Another HDD
Jun 30, 2011I am currently running a lot of simulations and am always interested to speed things up a bit. My workstation has 2 hdds, 1 ssd-drive (sda1) and 1 mechanical platter drive (sdb1). Of course, most of my data are on the mechanical drive and the ssd is mostly used for booting.
However, to speed things up a bit, I wonder if it is possible to create a pointer or link in a directory residing within the mechanical drive, which will write the data, in reality, to the ssd instead. For example,
Code:
/home/me/sims/data/dump
would normally reside on sdb1. But I would like it to point to a mount point of the ssd instead, e.g.,
Code:
/ssdtemp/dump

View 14 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Remove Old JRE / When Log Into Other Accounts Its Points At The Old JRE?
May 25, 2009I have JDK 1.6 update 13 installed on my machine from binaries. For my java web applets to work, I had to install JRE 1.6 update 12 from the Debian repos. I downloaded a webstart app the other day that should install a programing emulator for me, but it can't seem to find my JDK or my version of Netbeans (everything built from binaries). On another forum, someone suggested that the JRE was the problem, so we linked every referece we could find to a JRE to my JRE in the JDK folder. JAVA_HOME, my PATH and even the /usr/java directories point to my JDK. For some reason, if I log into other accounts, every variable seems correct, but the account still points at the old JRE? My solution was just to remove the old JRE so everything would be forced to look at the newer one, but I can't every time I try, I am told that Open Office and several libraries will be removed also. Is there some way to remove just the old JRE and its two basae pacakages without the rest of my programs?

Jul 1, 2009Have openSUSE 11.1 and (AFAIK) KDE 4 on an older notebook; worked OK for weeks, then booting became a problem and the OS seemed to go to sleep between keystrokes: now the cursor stops blinking, the clock stops running, and nothing happens after clicking a radio button until the mouse moves. Am now 25 minutes into a reboot, hung at "Unmounting file systems" but it also hung for a while when changing run levels. Is this related to the stability problems with 11.1 I've read about? Possibly KDE? Where would I adjust a config to use kde 3.5 rather than 4?

in the private partition i've got some folders i want to mount into system as system folders.
folders in private:
- www

mount points in system:
- /var/www
- /home
is this possible? cause it seems that you can only specify a whole partition to use for a mount point and not a folder in a partition or am i wrong?

General :: Vanishing Mount Points On Unmount?
Jun 19, 2011When I insert an SD card in the reader, slackware creates a mount point and mounts my card volumes. On unmounting the volumes, the mount point vanishes. How do I achieve this manually?When I attempt to mount a volume using the mount command, the mount point folder must exist and the folder does not vanish on umount. Is there a way to create a mount point if it does not exist? and ensure that the folders vanish on umounting?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Sequence Of Partitions / Mount Points?
Mar 1, 2011figure out the best partition layout for my linux installation which I'm about to have on my laptop. Having read numerous articles on partitioning in linux I've gathered some ideas, still there was no let's say a clear explanation as to the sequence the mount points should be arranged on the disc...What I have in mind is to use a single disc space as efficiently as possible considering the head travel. The pc is a laptop, 160GB HDD and will be used as a normal desktop with some simple sound processing. Distro Linux Mint 10. I'm planning to have such partitions and all will come after a Win7 installation:
/boot -> some write it's not necessary in dual-booting, some that it's good to have for security
swap -> with 4GB of RAM i don't suppose i'll use it
/
[code]....
have the most heavily utilised partitions close to each other so the head doesn't move for large distances. The placement also makes a difference as the closer to the inner rim of the disc the worse performance. I'm also not sure about the sizes. Read posts with recommendations but still judging by installations on a different laptop and virtual machine e.g. 5GB for /opt is a bit too much as there's almost nothing in there. Certainly /usr fills up, /var too from what I've observed. / also has scarce data in it so I'm wondering if giving them e.g. 5 gigs each won't be a waste of space resulting in greater head travel.
Programming :: Optimizing The Spacing Of A Mesh Containing A Given Set Of Points?
Jan 15, 2011I tried to summarize the this as best as possible in the title. I am writing an initial value problem solver in the most general way possible. I start with an arbitrary number of initial values at arbitrary locations (inside a boundary.) The first part of my program creates a mesh/grid (I am not sure which is the correct nuance), with N points total, that contains all the initial values. My goal is to optimize the mesh such that the spacing is as uniform as possible. My solver seems to work half decently (it needs some more obscure debugging that is not relevant here.)
I am starting with one dimension. I intend to generalize the algorithm to an arbitrary number of dimensions once I get it working consistently. I am writing my code in fortran, but feel free to reply with pseudocode or the language of your choice.Allow me to elaborate with an example:Say I am working on a closed interval [1,10]
xmin=1
xmax=10
Say I have 3 initial points: xmin, 5 and xmax
num_ivc=3
known(num_ivc)=[xmin,5,xmax] //my arrays start at 1. Assume "known" starts sorted
I store my mesh/grid points in an array called coord. Say I want 10 points total in my mesh/grid.
N=10
coord(10)
Remember, all this is arbitrary--except the variable names of course. The algorithm should set coord to {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} Now for a less trivial example:
num_ivc=3
known(num_ivc)=[xmin,5.5,xmax
or just
num_ivc=1
known(num_ivc)=[5.5]
Now, would you have 5 evenly spaced points on the interval [1, 5.5] and 5 evenly spaced points on the interval (5.5, 10]? But there is more space between 1 and 5.5 than between 5.5 and 10. So would you have 6 points on [1, 5.5] followed by 4 on (5.5 to 10]. The key is to minimize the difference in spacing.I have been working on this for 2 days straight and I can assure you it is a lot trickier than it sounds. I have written code that
only works if N is large
only works if N is small
only works if it the known points are close together
[code]....
So as you can see, I have coded the gamut of almost-solutions. I cannot figure out a way to get it to perform equally well in all possible scenarios (that is, create the optimum spacing.)
Debian Installation :: System Appear To Hang At Different Points During Install

Feb 6, 2011I'll start a fresh installation of a debian stable server and I would like to use LVM on this. So, I started to read lots of documents about LVM and found different flavors on partitioning with it. I'm thinking in a partition schema which might use LVM for those mount points that tends to grow in time, for instance:
/boot (primary partition)
/ (primary partition)
/home (lvm)
/usr (lvm)
/var (lvm)
swap (lvm)
Am I right on this schema?
Fedora :: Convention For Permanent Partition Mount Points?
Aug 24, 2009If /mnt & /media are for temporary mount points and removable drives, what is the usual convention for locating permanently mounted partitions for all users on the computer? e.g. I have a partition for photographs, I'll just call it "photos" would it be bad form to mount it as /photos or something like /my_hdd/photos ?In practice it probably won't matter, but I want to make sure it's easy for anyone else to perform admin tasks on the computer when I'm not available.
