Hi,

I've sent a report to CERT... But I'd like to alert/discuss this with the
experts....

I'm attaching three text files detailing the incident: "mail_server_isssue"
shows how I found out this incident and "bash_history" is the .bash_history
file in /root that shows, potentially, what the person did.... And last but
not least, "hidden_dir" shows the directory that the person created in
/var/tmp. The program running basically captures all the connection with
"interesting info" logged. I've upgraded qpopper from b26 to b34   (since it
looks like a qpopper buffer overflow attack..)

Thanks!!

Regards,

Francis Lee
