[R] OT: Linux Trojan Warning - Red Hat and Fedora Users
Greetings all, Just a heads up to the masses that there is a new Linux trojan warning this weekend. An e-mail purporting to come from Red Hat's Security Team contains information on a vulnerability in fileutils, with a URL to a site that contains a patch. The site is http://www.fedora-redhat.com/ A whois of the domain shows that it is owned by Yahoo, not Red Hat: http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=fedora-redhat.com&type=domain More information is showing up on the web: http://it.slashdot.org/it/04/10/24/2352234.shtml?tid=172&tid=110&tid=218&tid=106 and Red Hat is aware of the issue: http://www.redhat.com/security/ Best regards to all, Marc Schwartz
