Bug#413831: Signed posting to list rejected



Package: tech-ctte

Hi,

I've added a bit of information on a bug report assigned to tech-ctte.
However I received a bounce from the mailinglist manager telling me "You
are not subscribed to this list, so your submission was rejected.
Please subscribe to the list first and then repost your message."

The Technical Committee web page mentions that you need to be subscribed
OR PGP-sign your message to get through. As my message was in fact
signed, I think there's a configuration error somewhere. I've temporarly
subscribed now to the list to be able to report this issue.

The message itself is attached.


thanks,
Thijs

Hi,

I'd like to add a bit of information here.

Recently, Wordpress 2.1.1 has been compromised and an exploit added to
the code. http://wordpress.org/development/2007/03/upgrade-212/
This can happen.

However, upstream solves this by advising everyone to "just upgrade to
2.1.2". Otherwise it stays vague about what is affected: they list "past
3-4 days" as the window, they do not tell the (md5 or sha1) checksums of
the trusted version, nor do they give the exploit code that was added.

They produce no way for me to check whether an existing installation is
affected or not. "Just upgrade".

I'm therefore not convinced that they take security seriously in a way
other than "upgrade to this new fixed version, which contains some other
fixes too", which is exactly not what Debian needs.
