Uhh, yeah, fixed

Fixed for those who haven't generated any keys since, what, umm, September 2006? In the mean time, have fun regenerating new keys.

Fixed?

Surely the issue is only fixed if you have replaced guessable keys? Or if you didn't have any keys in the first place? If I were a Debian or Debian-derived distro user, I'd be regenerating my keys about now...

Bug already fixed

My Ubuntu 8.04 received the update fix notification, downloaded and repaired well before I came across this article. The benfits of Open Source.

I can see it now

Now that we´ve had a vulnerability exposed in Debian Linux, the Windows people are going to jump all over it. Never mind that most of the Windows security is based on their own version of the,¨Don´t ask, don´t tell¨ policy. Except of course, in this case, Windows users are getting screwed instead of US military people. ;)

Fixed...

Its fixed and security updates are already available for Ubuntu... should be available for debian too.

All ready patched...

Since (at least) last night, when Ubuntu (and likely most other debian-based distros) ran its auto-upate.

Say, can't you find some real news?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
