From Windows to a Debian GNU/Linux desktop, sans the geekness
The Original - since June 2006 - Run Debian GNU/Linux and be Happy.
"Every soldier that has died or fought under the American flag since World War II has done it because of the immoral and wrong-headed policies of our presidents and government leaders, backed by the ignorant and phony patriotism of the masses…those same masses that still believe even to this day that each one of our war dead gave up their lives for our freedom." source

What's Root?
Root is the super-ultra-mega. All system commands on a Linux box need to be done as root. This means installing software and changing files not in your /home directory, etc. In your terminal, if you're logged in already become root by typing su at your $ prompt, then the root password. Log in the system directly as root from a terminal, but not the graphical login. # shows root.
dediantutorials.org is ad-free
debiantutorials.org has always been and will always remain ad-free I make no unrealistic demands that you "owe me for my time and bandwidth" in order to use my site. I detest all those scumbags out there that think that they are owed something for putting a web site up. I do debiantutorials.org because I love it. You owe me nothing.
If you can walk and chew gum at the same time, you can run Linux

Debian Security Advisories

  • DSA-1585 speex - integer overflow

    It was discovered that speex, The Speex codec command line tools, did not correctly did not correctly deal with negative offsets in a particular header field. This could allow a malicious file to execute arbitrary code.



  • DSA-1584 libfishsound - buffer overflow

    It was discovered that libfishsound, a simple programming interface that wraps Xiph.Org audio codecs, didn't correctly handle negative values in a particular header field. This could allow malicious files to execute arbitary code.



  • DSA-1583 gnome-peercast - buffer overflow

    Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Gnome PeerCast, the Gnome interface to PeerCast, a P2P audio and video streaming server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:



  • DSA-1582 peercast - buffer overflow

    Nico Golde discovered that PeerCast, a P2P audio and video streaming server, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the HTTP Basic Authentication code, allowing a remote attacker to crash PeerCast or execute arbitrary code.



  • DSA-1581 gnutls13 - several vulnerabilities

    Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNUTLS, an implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol suite.



  • DSA-1580 phpgedview - programming error

    It was discovered that phpGedView, an application to provide online access to genealogical data, allowed remote attackers to gain administrator privileges due to a programming error.



  • DSA-1579 netpbm-free - insufficient input sanitizing

    A vulnerability was discovered in the GIF reader implementation in netpbm-free, a suite of image manipulation utilities. Insufficient input data validation could allow a maliciously-crafted GIF file to overrun a stack buffer, potentially permitting the execution of arbitrary code.



  • DSA-1578 php4 - several vulnerabilities

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP version 4, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:



  • DSA-1577 gforge - insecure temporary files

    Stephen Gran and Mark Hymers discovered that some scripts run by GForge, a collaborative development tool, open files in write mode in a potentially insecure manner. This may be exploited to overwrite arbitary files on the local system.



  • DSA-1576 openssh - predictable random number generator

    The recently announced vulnerability in Debian's openssl package (DSA-1571-1, CVE-2008-0166) indirectly affects OpenSSH. As a result, all user and host keys generated using broken versions of the openssl package must be considered untrustworthy, even after the openssl update has been applied.
