As most of you probably noticed, the mail just posted to nmap-dev
purporting to be from me included an xlp.exe attachment.  I haven't
examined it, but you can assume it is some sort of worm or other
malicious payload.  I would never send a .exe file to the list.  It is
probably one of those annoying worms that spoof their "from" address.
I have just changed the list configuration to ban the
application/x-msdownload MIME type.

Still keep in mind that this is an unmoderated list and so be
careful.  Dozens of viruses/worms are sent to the list every day and
rejected because the sender isn't a member.  This one only got through
because it spoofed my address.  I have removed the mail from the list
archive.

In happier news, Nmap 3.50 is now available at
http://www.insecure.org/ .  I will send out an official announcement
tomorrow.  Here are the md5s:
