MGASA-2017-0330 Updated libxdmcp packages fix security vulnerability

XDM uses weak entropy to generate the session keys on non BSD systems. On multi user systems it might possible to check the PID of the process and how long it is running to get an estimate of these values, which could allow an attacker to attach to the session of a different user CVE-2017-2625...

libXdmcp: weak entropy usage for session keys

It was discovered that libXdmcp used weak entropy to generate session keys. On a multi-user system using xdmcp, a local attacker could potentially use information available from the process list to brute force the key, allowing them to hijack other users' sessions...

How to Report Your Performance Test Results Like a Pro

Performance tests try to reduce the risks of downtime or outages on multi-user systems by conducting experiments that use load to reveal limitations and errors in the system. Testing usually involves assessing the performance and capacity of systems that were expensive and time-consuming to build...

Debian DSA-079-2 : uucp - uucp uid/gid access

Zenith Parsec discovered a security hole in Taylor UUCP 1.06.1. It permits a local user to copy any file to anywhere which is writable by the uucp uid, which effectively means that a local user can completely subvert the UUCP subsystem, including stealing mail, etc. If a remote user with UUCP...
