That is, any attack that would have worked before the fix, will still work after the fix. However, Fedora FEDORA-2009-3383 at least claims a fix for CVE-2009-0840, so a new CVE is probably in order to "signal" to admins that they have another issue to handle. Use CVE-2009-2281 for the "new" issue. What versions are affected by this?
Should be every currently available release, I'm currently working with upstream on a better fix. Cheers Nico -- Nico Golde - http://www.ngolde.de - nion () jabber ccc de - GPG: 0xA0A0AAAA For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted.
