Gentle introduction to SELinux (updated)

I've updated my gentle introduction to SELinux slides. I'm still improving them in numerous places, as well as writing more. Thanks for all the feedback I've received so far!

(first announcement)

New ping of death for Windows?

According to this article on heise.de, there is new exploit code to crash Windows boxes remotely, like the famous "ping of death" in 199something. When you allow windows file sharing, you're vulnerable...

Exploit code, as linked by heise. (Untested myself.)

It's not yet clear whether a worm could use this vulnerability to spead; it certainly will not be as dangerous as the SQL server vulnerability, but it currently allows malicious users in your local network to crash your computer. Anyone at a lan party? ;-)

On an unrelated note, watch this video (google) of a demo of Microsofts Voice Wreckognition technology in Vista. Very funny.
