The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

netstd - bad security hole in rlogin

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

The patch below (to netstd 2.05-1) fixes a bad security hole in rlogin.

Unfortunately the netstd source package is too byzantine for me to be
able to figure out - in particular, I haven't been able to generate a
new diff.

I have put my modified source tarfile and the i386 .deb file (which
I've called version 2.05-1.1) on chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk, in /users/ian.

I'm not sure what to do now.  We need to distribute these binaries as
soon as possible, in buzz-fixed, but I can't (and don't know how) to
generate an updated diff.

I'd appreciate it if someone else would take it from here.  Feel free
to put my binary in the distribution.

Ian.
