    Sorry but it was too easy! I'm tired to death and I see this huge title in my RSS Feed Program! I'm sure a mega exploit was release for last week jpg patch of M$ but I came to see Windows is unaffected! WOW! That a change, it's for Unix/Linux!

    Well it doesn't affect windows, unless you install the netkit-telnetd on it
    Not all linux distros come with this telnet daemon..

    And who the **** has his telnet open to the world these days anyway..
    Edit your /etc/inetd.conf and comment out the telnet part..
    Restart your inetd...
    And feel safe again..

    Level 10 my ass..

    The user ©opy®ight is talking about is dynagnosis
    The source of the email is from this website http://www.dyngnosis.com/
    on this page http://www.dyngnosis.com/Default.aspx?tabid=68

    I would recommend having a look at where his tutorials came from..

    and the links mentioned are internal at his website..

    I believe those two are actually from this CERT Telnet Advisory

    Ok, so let's get this right, "copyright":

    - The "Level 10 alert" is about a remote exploit in telnet, which no sane administrator is running on the internet anyway (and most don't even run on LANs)
    - The info is over 3 years old

    I'd ask the people who run your "Private members only site" how they classify the alerts because it sounds a bit bogus to me.

    Anyone thought that "Alert Level 10" might be the absolute lowest level.....
