[eclipse.org-committers] Shell access to Eclipse servers suspended tempo

["Eclipse Webmaster (Denis Roy)" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

A recent exploit in the Linux kernel was found and made public. 
Although we have tested our systems to not be vulnerable, we have 
suspended all shell access to our servers until we can either get 
confirmation from our vendor that their product is not vulnerable, or a 
patch.  CVS and SVN over SSH are unaffected -- only those attempting to 
use a shell will be denied.

On a related topic, if your project has a vserver, you may want to 
ensure your vserver is not vulnerable, as the Eclipse webmasters do not 
manage and maintain individual project vservers.

I apologize for the inconvenience this causes. I'll keep you posted.

Denis
