For those of you who don't know, 2.2.16 was released at the end of last
week, fixing a local vulnerability regarding SUID executables and a
remote vulnerability regarding the sunrpc port (used for the r-commands,
NFS, and others). I've heard reports, though, that have shed some doubt
on its stability. Has anyone tried this?
BTW, I don't know about the SUID vulnerability, but the rpc port
vulnerability is a 2.2-specific issue. If you're running 2.0, I don't
believe it affects you (although you've got other issues like a DoS
vulnerability).
