John F. Kennedy

There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain. Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

Critical Sendmail Flaw, update/patch now

Tue, 03/04/2003 - 11:20 — charlie.collins

Sendmail < 8.12.8 has a critical flaw that affects header parsing. This was discovered by ISS and apparently has been known since Decemeber 2002 but was just now publicly disclosed because "critical infrastructure" organizations such as power companies, etc, were given the opportunity to address it before it was made public. I have HUGE issues with that approach, but thats another discussion, for now if you use sendmail (and somewhere along the line you DO) then patch it yourself and make someone aware of the issue who can.

See the linked 8.12.8 release notes and CERT for more. http://www.sendmail.org/8.12.8.html
