F**kin’ Internet


note — to simulate the appropriate degree of bile, read the following items with a strong Mancunian accent

Two things:

  1. There’s a zero-day OpenSSH exploit. I suggest locking down sshd (or just disabling it for now, if that’s workable) to strictly trusted IPs until vendors get their ducks in a row and we can all patch our shit.
  2. Verisign breaks DNS. This is really quite evil. Every non-resolvable .com or .net address now returns a Verisign ad instead of the proper “no such domain” response. This is seriously broken behavior, and will actually cause failures in real world scripts, applications, and spam filters.
