[ilugd] Flashmob
Hi, I've been always interested in the idea of clustering and have recently built a 6 node cluster at my office with Clusterknoppix. The good thing is that it doesn't require cd drive on the nodes. I ran the server from cd(later installed it to harddisk) and every machine network remote booted from the server by enabling network boot in BIOS. So adding a node to the cluster is as simple as going to each machine and changing the BIOS setting(and that's what I do after the office hours!!) We have got around 200 machines here out of which 40 are P4s. I've played so far with 6 machines that's inside my room, but soon I'll be adding at least 100 machines to my cluster. I just want to know if it's possible to boot the nodes without cd in FlashMob ? If not, I won't be able to use it as we don't have cd drives on all machines.

[ilugd] Is Google currently storing multiple copies of the entire web in RAM?
http://blog.topix.net/archives/11.html [...] The biggest RAM database of all... An overlooked feature that made Google really cool in the beginning was their snippets. This is the excerpt of text that shows a few sample sentences from each web page matching your search. Google's snippets show just the part of the web page that have your search terms in them; other search engines before always showed the same couple of sentences from the start of the web page, no matter what you had searched for. Consider the insane cost to implement this simple feature. Google has to keep a copy of every web page on the Internet on their servers in order to show you the piece of the web page where your search terms hit. Everything is served from RAM, only booted from disk. And they have multiple separate search clusters at their co-locations. This means that Google is currently storing multiple copies of the entire web in RAM. My napkin is hard to read with all these zeroes on it, but that's a lot of memory.

[ilugd] (fwd) Advisory: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Monit
[Please upgrade if you use Monit on any platform -- Raju] This is an RFC 1153 digest. (1 message) -- Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Advisory: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Monit Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2004 14:08:36 -0400 Multiple Vulnerabilities in Monit I. Product Description As quoted from http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/ web page: monit is a utility for managing and monitoring, processes, files, directories and devices on a Unix system. Monit conducts automatic maintenance and repair and can execute meaningful causal actions in error situations. E.g. monit can start a process if it does not run, restart a process if it does not respond and stop a process if it uses to much resources. You may use monit to monitor files, directories and devices for changes, such as timestamp changes, checksum changes or size changes. You can also use monit to monitor remote hosts; monit can ping a remote host and can check port connections and protocols. II. Affected Systems Stable: Monit 4.2 and prior Beta: Monit 4.3 Beta 2 and prior III. Vulnerability Description Three vulnerabilities were found in Monit during a simple code review. All of the vulnerabilities are in Monit's HTTP/HTTPS administration interfaces, and as such can only be exploited if the interface is enabled and accessible. Two of the vulnerabilities lie in the Basic authentication code, while one vulnerability lies in the processing of POST requests. * Basic Authentication Out-of-Bounds Read (Denial of Service) When faced with a Basic authentication request without a password, Monit will decrement a pointer returned by a strchr() call without appropriate NULL pointer checking. The error results in a segmentation fault during a strcpy() call. This request can be generated with a simple web browser. This vulnerability does not allow users to gain privileges on the server. For instance. Specifically, if the base64-decoded credentials string does not contain a colon, the vulnerability can be exploited. * Basic Authentication Buffer Overflow (Remote Root) When faced with a Basic authentication request with an overly-long user name ( 256 characters), vulnerable versions of Monit will overrun a stack-based buffer. This potentially allows a remote attacker to gain root privileges. * POST Input Off-By-One (Exploitability Varies) When faced with a POST submission that is exactly 1,024 bytes, Monit suffers from an off-by-one overflow. Exploitability depends upon the version of gcc used to compile the application. Some compilers will allow this overflow to modify the frame pointer, potentially controlling stack frames. * UPDATE: Integer Overflow in POST Input Handler (Initially discovered by S-Quadra) S-Quadra discovered that a large HTTP POST would cause an xmalloc() call within the WBA to fail. This issue was fixed in 4.2.1 as a denial of service. In fact, this code also contained an exploitable integer overflow. By specifying a Content-Length header of -1, a zero-byte heap allocation is performed. An attacker can then input an arbitrary amount of data, overwriting significant portions of the heap. My research suggests that this issue could also be exploited. IV. Impact A remote attacker with access to Monit's WBA via HTTP or HTTPS clients could potentially gain the privileges of the root user. V. Vendor Response April 3, 2004: * First two vulnerabilities discovered * Monit team notified via e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) April 4, 2004: * Response from Jan Henrik-Haukeland ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) * Patch for first two reports committed to CVS * Third vulnerability discovered * Monit team notified via e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) April 5, 2004: * Response from Jan Henrik-Haukeland ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) * Patch for third issue committed to CVS * Monit team releases security advisory * Monit 4.2.1 released * Monit 4.3 Beta 3 released * Public disclosure The Monit team deserves praise on a very speedy response to this vulnerability. Particularly noteworthy is that the vendor was notified shortly before midnight on April 4, 2004. The patch for each of these issues was committed to CVS within 18 hours of the initial report. Thanks to Jan Henrik-Haukeland for a fast response to this issue. VI. Workaround For those who cannot immediately upgrade packages, it is recommended that the Monit HTTP interface be disabled. If access to this interface is necessary, limit it to the Local Area Network with appropriate firewalling. Upgrading as listed in Solution below is recommended if possible. For those users of Monit who have deployed vendor-provided packages, you should wait for updated vendor binaries. VII. Solution * Monit 4.2 Stable: The vendor has released Monit 4.2.1, which contains these fixes. It can be downloaded

[ilugd] Mail virusscanner woes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 So I though I'd be l33t and scan all my incoming mail for viruses at point of entry. Second step of being l33t is being lazy, so just enabled clamav-milter, since all the packages were already installed on my state-of-the-art bleeding-edge Red Hat 9 system and was ready to go. Initially this worked like a charm -- no more incoming viruses, just terse notifications of the form ``Found virus, blocked virus''. Yippee, I thought to myself, this rocks! Unfortunately time, with its propensity to remove rose-tints from pictures, had a different story to tell... First of all, clamav-milter doesn't quarantine messages, it just bounces them back to the sender. Now this has two issues; firstly, viruses tend to spoof the From address in e-mails, so some poor bugger sitting in Latvia and running GNU/Hurd is getting triumphant e-mails from me saying, ``Thought you could infect me, huh? Well, sucks to you and my Daddy can beat your Daddy!''. Not Done. Next, I'm subscribed to mailing lists that distribute vulnerability and exploit code, so I often get legitimate mails that contain virus signatures. Unfortunately, I don't get those messages anymore -- milter has already bounced them back. Secondly, clamav-milter is ghastly slow. Slw. It takes up to a minute to deliver one message to me, and for me that's completely unacceptable -- I get ~400 messages a day in my inbox and watching fetchmail crawl in a Konsole window is too painful to bear. Ergo, I'll brave the viruses. Already disabled clamav-milter, tried to install Amavisd, which itself has a list of dependencies that reaches from here to the moon. Will install once the weather is a bit cooler (say, December 2010). In the meantime any suggestions on my problems are welcome. - -- Raju - -- Raj Mathur[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F It is the mind that moves -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/ iD8DBQFAcjWvyWjQ78xo0X8RAp8jAJ9zQASOILuGdAwTxSD1M5s4UsydoACfVoTv 6vByE3Xaz39bxDeUxnIoMrE= =6nuV -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
