[ilugd] President APJ Open Source?
Hi, There is an article in Hindustan Times (25th feb, 2005), page 15 (lower half) titled Kalam to use Laptop for joint address. Read it on you will find it mentioning Power-Point presentation. He shall be using the laptop instead printed material as his hand is injured. I wonder how our President (with all due respects), who favoured Open Source so openly, could use MS stuff when it comes to his personal usage... ??? OR Is it that his staff is not trained enough to install use Win32 binaries of OpenOffice??? BTW, I think, its not even a remotest posibility that his lappy may be running GNU stuff when he addresses the house! So? Can't we all, members of ILUGD, atleast forward him a signed petition (or some sort of request) to give GNU a fair chance to prove itself before the house :-) what ya say? -- regards, makuchaku --- http://makuchaku.blogspot.com #gnutech [at] nl.chatjunkies.org --- Linux...

Anybody interested? This isn't to be done for free... Arun Original Message Subject:MAPofNAB Linux and the text-challenged Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2005 13:34:44 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] my mail is messed up, I had to repartition my hard disk. Sorry if you got multiple copies of this. It is my understanding, that the National Association for the Blind in New Delhi wishes the following services -- please feel free to forward to individuals or lists that might be interested. 1. On one machine at the NAB, Linux plus the screen reader Gnopernicus need to be installed, so that the NAB can at least evaluate Gnopernicus, and the rest of the Linux platform, for their needs. 2. A distribution created, that automatically installs the above on a PC, no questions asked, or only questions asked verbally. This would allow a text-challenged person to autonomously install and use Linux. 3. Gnopernicus needs to work for a typist going fast in Hindi. How good is the state of the art in Hindi TTS? 4. Gnopernicus needs to be able to rapidly switch between languages. Say, for instance, you are viewing a Hindi page in an English browser. When accessing the menu, it must speak English, while reading out content, Hindi. While the NAB will, I believe, be willing to pay for these services, or at least put up funding proposals for them, the outcome would be of interest to a far wider population. The illiterate can understand spoken language, but not written: Gnopernicus would be an easy way for them to use the computer. If the quality of the TTS were to be decent, those of us who nowadays rarely read Hindi, could start tracking the Hindi newspapers, or access the computer while driving. (once the problem were solved for Hindi/English, other pairs of languages would not be hard to address) -- the text-challenged are probably the majority in this world... I have, actually, a revolutionary new concept for TTS: this computer can be hired for two hundred dollars a month, and its Hindi TTS is so good, that people find it indistinguishable from human speech. You guessed it, I am in fact talking about a human being, perhaps someone who is wheelchair-bound, available to you via the Internet. Send her text, or a url, and it is read back to you, either live, or with some delay. You might just give her keywords, and she would do a google search, refining the search results in consultation with you. Send her a snapshot from your camera phone, and she describes what it shows. This might make a wonderful new kind of call center (or is someone doing this already?) that all of us might find to be a useful way of using the Internet via telephone. How hard would it be to set up Linux software to facilitate this kind of service? A great platform for such a service would be a community wireless network. You would then have the bandwidth to do high quality voice, which would allow, let us say, a blind child to attend normal school. He might take frequent snapshots of the blackboard, and hear a bedridden volunteer describe them to him through his WiFi phone. Or, read out the question paper and take down his dictation of the answers. People with interest and expertise in dealing with such problems, do get in touch. , Arun Mehta Yahoo!

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: The Gaim developers discovered that the HTML parser did not sufficiently validate its input. This allowed a remote attacker to crash the Gaim client by sending certain malformed HTML messages. (CAN-2005-0208, CAN-2005-0473) Another lack of sufficient input validation was found in the Oscar protocol handler which is used for ICQ and AIM. By sending specially crafted packets, remote users could trigger an infinite loop in Gaim which caused Gaim to become unresponsive and hang.

[ilugd] (fwd) [SECURITY] iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.25.05: WU-FTPD File Globbing Denial of Service Vulnerability
[Please upgrade or patch if you are still running wu-ftpd on any platform -- Raju] This is an RFC 1153 digest. (1 message) -- Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: iDEFENSE Labs [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.25.05: WU-FTPD File Globbing Denial of Service Vulnerability Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 12:43:54 -0500 WU-FTPD File Globbing Denial of Service Vulnerability iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.25.05 www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=207type=vulnerabilities February 25, 2005 I. BACKGROUND WU-FTPD is an ftp daemon for Unix systems developed at Washington University. More information is available at: http://www.wu-ftpd.org/ II. DESCRIPTION Remote exploitation of an input validation vulnerability in version 2.6.2 of WU-FPTD could allow for a denial of service of the system by resource exhaustion. The vulnerability specifically exists in the wu_fnmatch() function in wu_fnmatch.c. When a pattern containing a '*' character is supplied as input, the function calls itself recursively on a smaller substring. By supplying a string which contains a large number of '*' characters, the system will take a long time to return the results, during which time it will be using a large amount of CPU time. III. ANALYSIS After a user logs into the ftpd, an attacker can send a simple command which will cause high CPU utilization. To exploit this vulnerability, a simple ftp client is sufficient. Once logged in, either anonymously or as an authenticated user, issuing the following command will cause the machine to become less responsive. ftp dir *** *** *** **.* By re-connecting and issuing the command multiple times, the system can be made completely unresponsive. This may prevent legitimate access to services provided by the system for the period of the attack. IV. DETECTION iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in version 2.6.2 and 2.6.1 of WU-FTPD. It is suspected that previous versions are also affected by this vulnerability. V. WORKAROUND Consider disabling the ftpd. If this is not viable as an option, consider disabling anonymous access. Disabling anonymous access will not prevent local users from exploiting this vulnerability. VI. VENDOR RESPONSE No vendor response received. VII. CVE INFORMATION The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the names CAN-2005-0256 to these issues. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for security problems. VIII. DISCLOSURE TIMELINE 02/09/2005 Initial vendor notification - No response 02/18/2005 Initial vendor notification - No response 02/25/2005 Public disclosure IX.
