Vulnerability Hits Unix-Like OSes

[admin at kclinux.net]

"According to recent reports from the Internet Software Consortium (ISC)
and CERT, a buffer overflow vulnerability allows some servers running UNIX-
like operating systems to be taken over by a hostile attacker. Of the
affected operating system distributions, Red Hat Linux 8 is by far the most
widely deployed. According to CERT's vulnerability report, SuSE, Slackware,
and Mandrake are likewise vulnerable. NetBSD, OpenBSD, and MacOS X are not
vulnerable. (CERT hasn't reported whether FreeBSD is vulnerable. However,
FreeBSD does not install the ISC DHCP daemon by default, so FreeBSD servers
are probably not vulnerable unless a "port" containing the buggy code is
installed.)"
