 Major Samba Security Alert
Security admin writes "A flaw has been detected in the Samba main smbd code which could allow an external attacker to remotely and anonymously gain Super User (root) privileges on a server running a Samba server. This flaw exists in previous versions of Samba from 2.0.x to 2.2.7a inclusive. This is a serious problem and all sites should either upgrade to Samba 2.2.8 immediately or prohibit access to TCP ports 139 and 445.

Everyone upgrade to version 2.2.8 now! Get it here."

 Linux Worm Spreading, Many Systems Vulnerable
Security admin writes "A GNU/Linux worm exploiting a bug in OpenSSL spreads through vulnerable Apache web servers, according to Symantec. The worm, which was first reported in Europe, targets several popular Linux distributions. See also the SecurityFocus vulnerability listing for the OpenSSL bug.

To protect yourself please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.6g or if you can, disable you Apache OpenSSL module all-together. New releases of anti-virus software will also detect this worm.

See the Sophos analysis of the worm here."

 New review added: IP-Cop Firewall/Gateway
Security admin writes "Today a review of IP-Cop 0.1.1, the most popular fork of and alternative to Smoothwall has been added to the site.
Although it is tempting to go into the Smoothwall/IPCop debate in this post, I won't. If you want reasons to try IPCop over Smoothwall, you'll have to read the review in the reviews section!"
