jax What if you decided to code into the encryption the use of

jax Someone's really going create a huge conspiracy to change a

Nope, but one would happily set a policy that re-routed requests to
the atomic clocks to a local system, also with flawed time, in an
intermediate router.  There is no way to have time-limited encryption,
even under control of a remote server, since the first time the
document is decrypted and rendered the client just needs to save the
decrypted document.

Remember Apple's Fairplay and Hymn?  Similar problem -- once the
decrypted data stream is available on the local PC there's no way to
prevent the user from saving it in a format of her choice; unless you
make a blackbox appliance, which too would get cracked eventually.

Barrie I'm in agreement with this, as well as combining this with
Barrie use of sudo for common functions requiring root privs
Barrie (such as using tools requiring raw socks support for
Barrie instance) meaning you rarely have to become root and the
Barrie root account becomes slightly more difficult to
Barrie compromise.

Using su forces the use of passwords, which are difficult to manage in
a multi-admin scenario.  For instance, you may have to give the root
password to 3 different people (1 in each 8-hour shift).  What happens
when one of these people leaves the organisation?  You change the root
password and intimate the remaining two, as well as the replacement,
of the new root password.

Multiply this by 100 or 1000 machines and it becomes hell.

Use key-based login instead, then all you need to do is add/delete
keys to authorized_keys when people join/leave the group of
administrators.  Heck, you can even use cfengine or equivalent with
appropriate classes to automate the whole procedure -- define admin
groups on the central server and roll out public keys to all systems
automatically.

Next, how do you manage passwords?  The options are different password
for each system (which means pieces of paper in wallets with the
passwords scribbled on them) or use the same password for multiple
machines (security nightmare).  Keys are so much simpler -- just
remember the pass phrase of your own key and you're through.

 because, of course, I immediately thought, So you admit that
 your code is riddled with holes!

Valdis Actually, I suspect most coders are *worse* than that.

Valdis Sendmail 8.13.0 weighs in at just about 90K lines of C
Valdis code for the main program.  By that metric, there should
Valdis only have been 135 bugs in it. In fact, there are 441
Valdis occurrences of 'Problem noted by' in the release notes.

Valdis BIND 9.2.3 has 1,525 entries in the CHANGELOG file, of
Valdis which 774 are listed as '[bug]' entries.  I'm fairly sure
Valdis that BIND9 is well under 510,000 lines of code, so again
Valdis we're running well above 15 bugs per KLOC.

Valdis So either (a) Sendmail and BIND were written by people who
Valdis were *incredibly* worse than the average programmer, or
Valdis 15 errors/KLOC is a vast understatement.  Now although
Valdis Sendmail may not be a paragon of excellent programming
Valdis practice, it would be hard to argue that it's literally 4
Valdis times as buggy as code written by the average programmer
Valdis - think back to your intro to programming class and ask

The program is not accessing an array that hasn't been defined.

If you go back to KR you'd remember that a[i] is treated as *(a+i).
Hence, addition being commutative, it doesn't matter whether you use
a[i] or i[a], as long as one of (a, i) is an integer type and the
other a pointer to a non-void, known type.

To illustrate, try the following:

main()
{
char array[] = ABCD;
printf ( %c\n , array[2] );
printf ( %c\n , 2[array] );
}

Both printfs will print out C.

Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 10:19:31 -0600 (MDT)


Raj,

I appreciate you being the voice of reason.  I can offer you a simple
explanation, off-list.  Bugtraq is a moderated list, Full-Disclosure is
not.  Of course Full-Disclosure is going to be faster.  It takes me some
time read through all of the submissions to Bugtraq and decide which ones
are to be on the list.  Unfortunately, Bugtraq is not my only responsibility
here.  I have to balance trying to moderate as quickly as
possible with managing my team and maintaining/supporting some of the
products here which depend on the vulnerability database.
Despite all of this, I believe, Bugtraq is consistently faster than the
other moderated lists.

There's no conspiracy to withhold messages while our customers get priority.
That is absurd, all one has to do is monitor the list during regular
business hours.  For example, the FreeBSD advisory mentioned by
Rainer:  I approved it as soon as I was at my desk, before 9AM here.
It hit my mail spool about 30 minutes later (50,000 users on the list
means 50,000 SMTP transactions -- there's some latency in delivery,
though we try to improve performance by using QMQP with concurrent
outgoing servers).

During the day I approve messages as they arrive.  Once in a while messages
slip.  It happens.  I have hundreds of messages in the queue.
Sometimes a single message is surrounded by OOTO replies, A/V bounces,
spam, virus/worm mails, etc, and I don't see it until I review the queue
when I have time.  Follow-up messages sometimes take a little longer
because there are so many of them, many of which say the same things.  To
keep the noise down, I read over them all and select the best messages for
approval.  It takes me hours of my time both at work and outside of the
office.

I'm not asking that anyone take my word for it.  The Bugtraq delivery
times are available to anyone on the list.  With all of the speculation
I'm surprised nobody has actually put in the effort to try and prove
we are withholding information.  I assure that any such investigation
would show that the pattern of message approval is not consistent with us
withholding the precious zero-day of the community.  There's not really
any commercial advantage anyways, since there are so many lists now
and much of what goes to Bugtraq is sent everywhere else as well.  Most
importantly, it's simply not ethical and I would have no part in doing
that.  But again, don't take my word for it.

Thanks again.

Len Please don't send binary executables on the list unless you
Len include the source code. We should add this to the charter
Len shortly.

How about implementing a mail size limit too while we're about it?  No
reason to send mails over, say, 50K to the list -- you can always put
up larger items on the web and add a URL to your mail.  Heck, even a
shared Yahoo folder or something would do.

David sucks.  much like html email.

That's rather simplistic.  My freedom to move my fist ends where the
tip of your nose begins.  My right to freedom of speech ends where it
starts impinging on your rights to freedom, of whatever kind.

Every forum that I know of, whether electronic or physical has rules,
dos and don'ts.  If you don't like the rules you are always free to
include yourself out.  You can question the rules, and then a decision
must be reached by consensus or other means.  However you do not have
the freedom of flouting the rules of the forum that you are in on the
questionable pretext of `free speech'.

Jocke Hi, I'm new here so I don't know if I posted this in the
Jocke correct list...

Jocke I've found out that some simple CSS-code can crash Netscape
Jocke 6 and 7.

Jocke This is a simple html-page containing this code:

Jocke html body div style=position:absolute;

Jocke  div style=position:absolute; overflow:scroll
 
Jocke  /div /div /body /html

Jocke Was this already known?

Tested on following browsers on Red Hat Linux 8.0, i386:

galeon-1.2.6-0.8.0: Consumes 100% CPU but continues to respond to
events.

kdebase-3.0.3-14 (Konqueror): No effect

mozilla-1.0.1-26: Consumes 100% CPU, stops responding to events (or
takes overly long to respond -- I didn't wait more than a couple of
minutes).

netscape-communicator-4.79-1: No effect.

Regards,
