Serious Security Bug.... (fwd) I forward this e-mail from the Bugtraq mailing-list. This bug doesn't only crash/reboot linux as the text says, but the following OS's too: 1) Reboot: OSF/1 3.2C, Solaris2.4 x86 2) Ignored: *BSD, SunOS4.1.x, IOS, AIX3.2.5, VMS e Solaris 2.4 Sparc, Irix. 3) Respond: M$ e OS/2 4) Crash: Linux, AIX4, OSF <= 3.2C and AIX3.2.5 on Token-ring. If you need more info, check out the Archives of Bugtraq at the following URL: http://geek-girl.com/bugtraq/ p.s. The patch that the text mentions IS NOT included, dince it is a Linux patch. d.s. -----=<->=-----==-----=<->=-----=<|>=-----=<->=-----=<\>=-----=<->=----- Henrik Johansson email: hj@globecom.net tel: +46 (0)31-775 00 90 Systems Manager mobile: +46 (0)706-25 15 45 fax: +46 (0)31-775 00 85 GlobeCom Network "When communicating is your need" http://globecom.net/ -----=<->=-----=<\>=-----=<->=-----=<|>=-----=<->=-----==-----=<->=----- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 19 Oct 1996 18:43:39 +0200 From: Jake the Prince To: Multiple recipients of list BUGTRAQ Subject: Urgent !! Serious Linux Security Bug.... Hi, Today we saw an email from Linus Torvalds advising of a problem with Linux and ping. Basically you can reboot a linux box remotely if some scenario's are right. From what we can tell and this has all been verified is: If anyone in the world with a Windows 95 machine can ping your Linux box they can potentially reboot that machine.. Hence a serious denial of service OR loss of data. Scenario: Win95 user types 'ping -l 65510 host.running.linux'. Result: That machine reboots OR freezes. On the Linux machine, you need to be running kernel version 2.0.7(It's the lowest we run) up to version 2.0.20(The highest we're running). With ping you can use value 65508-65527. We have extensively tested both of these. I'm sure there are thousands of Linux systems that could be affected. There IS a BETA patch out and it DOES work.. If you don't have that patch code as of yet, it's attached. Cyaz Jake The Prince PS.....

Hello All (fellow biocomputing educators) - The paper deadline is long past and the hotel reservation assurance is now on a space available basis but PSB still wants your participation: Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing Monday, January 6 through Thursday, January 9, 1997 Ritz Carlton Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii PSB '97 is an international, multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion of current research in the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance. Poster Abstracts will be accepted until November 1, 1996. However, authors of abstracts must be registered and paid by the same day in order to be included in the abstract booklet. Submit abstracts directly to Russ Altman (altman@camis.stanford.edu). Please consult the PSB web site for further information: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb Our special discussion section on BIOCOMPUTING EDUCATION is still soliciting participation as well. Send me a copy of your abstract as well as Dr. Altman, if it's in the area of education, and you still have time to get an abstract in. Otherwise, if you just want to help out in the discussion, please contact me for more details and a plan of attack. Big thank you's are noted to those individuals that have already submitted abstracts to and volunteered to assist in our Education section: Bruno Gaeta, Tim Littlejohn and colleagues at The Australian National Genomic Information Service: "Teaching practical biocomputing to biologists in Australia" "Web based bioinformatics services in Australia - WebANGIS" Christopher Dubay and William Hersh at Oregon Health Sciences University: "Implementing a curriculum for a Masters of Science program in Medical Informatics that develops biomedical computing skills" and my Co-Director for the PSB '97 Education Section, Susan J. Johns of the VADMS Center at Washington State University: "Biocomputing instruction on a shoe string" We are still hoping to arrange for Dr. Mitchell Sogin of the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory to give our section's introductory talk on how he has developed, organized, and implemented his (along with Dr. Dan Davison of the Univerity of Houston) highly successful and long-running "Workshop on Molecular Evolution" although the certainty of this is contigent on funding availability. Regardless of whether Dr. Sogin can participate or not, we are confident that the PSB 1997 Education section will again be a success and are looking forward to working with you all in Hawaii this January. - Steve Steven M.
