“This week, many articles were released. Much of the news was
surrounding the Ramen worm. A few of the good papers included
“Securing DNS with Transaction Signatures,” “Web Site Security and
Denial of Service Protection,” and “Initial Cryptanalysis of the
RSA SecurID Algorithm.” If you have not yet educated yourself about
the Linux Ramen worm then you may want to read “Ramen Linux Worm
Propagation”….”

“This week, advisories were released for php4, inn, dhcpd, zope,
stunnel, joe, bash, syslog-ng, openssh, linuxconf, wu-ftpd, glibc,
and diffutils/squid. The vendors include Conectiva, Caldera,
FreeBSD, Mandrake, and Trustix.”
