[foo-devel] Sourceforge issues

[martin r. <fo...@ru...>]

dear fooers,

sorry for the long silence.  the sourceforge-issue with foo is not so
hard to be solved, you just have to re-login into the website and to
change your passwort there.  all sf-user-accounts have been disabled
(some long time ago) due to a security thing, see the mail below, but
it has not been announced properly.

apart from that, we really have to reorganize the foo stuff and
prepare a new release.  i just did not want to release anything in the
meantime because there still the known bugs ramon reported, plus some
issues i wanted to bring a long time ago but never arrived there.
will look into it and come back here.

all the best,

martin

Probably not the cause (as the shell service downtime is displayed on=20
the status page), but should you run into strange issues with SF this=20
can be interesting:

(  2006-07-13 09:23:52 - Project CVS Service, Project Shell Service,=20
Project Subversion (SVN) Service, SourceForge.net Web Site  )   A recent=20
kernel exploit was released that allowed a non admin user to escalate=20
privileges on the host pr-shell1. We urge all users who frequent this=20
host to change their password immediately and check their project group=20
space for any tampering. As a precaution, we have blocked access to all=20
project resources by password until the user resets their password.=20
After the password has been reset, project resources should be=20
accessible within 5 minutes.

I really wonder why they don't inform their users any better.

Greets,

Pieter

PS: Thx to Jonathan Woithe for pointing this out on freebob-devel.
