I saw the ftpd/glob() vulnerability on bugtraq yesterday, and the vulnerability report came out this afternoon. The ntpd vulnerability says Announced: 2001-04-06 but I got the report 2001-04-12. I think it's admirable that the reports come with patches and background, but I'd like to know to disable ntpd as soon as possible while waiting for details. I'm sure there are good reasons that things are the way that they are. My question was not in the spirit of bashing it. I just thought that this forum might be a good place to ask about sources of timely security notifications.
