[Bodington-developers] SF passwords reset

[Colin T. <col...@ou...>]

We've discovered that SF have reset some user's passwords. (I thought CVS was down).

(  2006-07-13 09:23:52 - Project CVS Service, Project Shell Service, Project Subversion (SVN) 
Service, SourceForge.net Web Site  )   A recent kernel exploit was released that allowed a non admin 
user to escalate privileges on the host pr-shell1. We urge all users who frequent this host to 
change their password immediately and check their project group space for any tampering. As a 
precaution, we have blocked access to all project resources by password until the user resets their 
password. After the password has been reset, project resources should be accessible within 5 minutes.
