“It has been a very active week in Linux security. Most of the
focus has surrounded the Ramen worm, but other problems have
surfaced. Among then, a few vulnerabilities found may result in
remote root compromises. With this, it is extremely important to
verify which packages you have installed and update
accordingly.”
“Linux Advisory Watch is a comprehensive newsletter that
outlines the security vulnerabilities that have been announced
throughout the week. It includes pointers to updated packages and
descriptions of each vulnerability.”
