Say welcome to “Printer” Spam
Filed Under error, news | Leave a Comment
Recently a lot of work was done in exploiting browsers cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
Now research by Aaron Weaver showed the possibility to use browser connected to malicious site to send print jobs to network printers. This may be big problem for companies – usually home users use only locally connected printers.
It is just matter of time to create a tool and sell it to the spammers. Then we can say welcome to “printer” spam.

CentOS 4.6 is ready
Filed Under Linux, news | Leave a Comment
You can download it now:
http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4.6/isos/
Major changes for this version are:
* samba has been updated to version 3.0.25b. This addresses several
critical issues affecting interoperability with Windows 2003в„ў and
Windows Vistaв„ў (resolved in recent upstream releases).* autofs5 is included in this release as a Technology Preview. This new
version of autofs resolves several long-standing interoperability issues
in multi-vendor environments.* There is a technology preview of OpenOffice-2.0 included in the
updates directory. You can install this OOo2 preview alongside the
current OOo-1.1.5 version, or you may install the OOo2 preview alone.
We apologize that this was not included on the ISOs, however it was not
on the upstream ISOs and we followed that layout. To List the new
OpenOffice-2.0 RPMS with yum use this command:yum search openoffice.org2 | grep i386 | grep -v langpack
For finding Language Packs (if you want other than English) do:
yum search openoffice.org2 | grep langpack
Use “yum install <pkg_name1> <pkg_name2>” to install the packages
that you want, or “yum info <pkg_name1> <pkg_name2>” to obtain more
information about them.* A new yum included in CentOS-4.6 requires the installation of
yum-metadata-parser. The yum-metadata-parser package contains a
metadata parser for yum written in C. It speeds up the metadata parsing
phase of yum considerably and does not change yum behavior in any other way.

Firefox 2.0.0.10 – Security update released
Filed Under Linux, news, Windows | Leave a Comment
This update is strongly recommended.
It fixes following security flaws:
MFSA 2007-39 Referer-spoofing via window.location race condition
MFSA 2007-38 Memory corruption vulnerabilities (rv:1.8.1.10)
MFSA 2007-37 jar: URI scheme XSS hazard
But this is not all….
When restarting Firefox to apply the update I was surprised with the message that I cannot install the update because I’m not an owner of the file or do not have administrative privileges…..
After several retries I realized that there is another user logged on my PC and it was using Firefox 🙁 after closing this extra copy update was installed and now I use latest version.
