---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hardcore Disassembler / Reverse Engineer Reversing must be a passion as your skills will be challenged on a daily basis and you will be working several hours everyday in IDA, Ollydbg, and with BinDiff. Often, it is also required that you write a PoC or even a working exploit to prove that an issue is exploitable. http://secunia.com/hardcore_disassembler_and_reverse_engineer/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Mandriva update for ppp SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA20987 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/20987/ CRITICAL: Less critical IMPACT: Privilege escalation WHERE: Local system OPERATING SYSTEM: Mandriva Linux 2006 http://secunia.com/product/9020/ DESCRIPTION: Mandriva has issued an update for ppp. This fixes a vulnerability, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.
