TechwareLabs has published a review on the Super Talent ProjectX 2GB DDR3-1800 kit. Here's a clip from the review: Quote: Hot on the heels of the previous DDR3 kit we slam in the Super Talent ProjectX kit rated at a blazing 1800MHz. Does this kit stand up to our other test kits so far or have we discovered a new meaning for the X?

Background ========== Postfix is Wietse Venema's mailer that attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure, as an alternative to the widely-used Sendmail program. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mail-mta/postfix < 2.5.3-r1 *>= 2.4.7-r1 >= 2.5.3-r1 Description =========== Sebastian Krahmer of SuSE has found that Postfix allows to deliver mail to root-owned symlinks in an insecure manner under certain conditions. Normally, Postfix does not deliver mail to symlinks, except to root-owned symlinks, for compatibility with the systems using symlinks in /dev like Solaris. Furthermore, some systems like Linux allow to hardlink a symlink, while the POSIX.1-2001 standard requires that the symlink is followed. Depending on the write permissions and the delivery agent being used, this can lead to an arbitrary local file overwriting vulnerability (CVE-2008-2936). Furthermore, the Postfix delivery agent does not properly verify the ownership of a mailbox before delivering mail (CVE-2008-2937). Impact ====== The combination of these features allows a local attacker to hardlink a root-owned symlink such that the newly created symlink would be root-owned and would point to a regular file (or another symlink) that would be written by the Postfix built-in local(8) or virtual(8) delivery agents, regardless the ownership of the final destination regular file. Depending on the write permissions of the spool mail directory, the delivery style, and the existence of a root mailbox, this could allow a local attacker to append a mail to an arbitrary file like /etc/passwd in order to gain root privileges. The default configuration of Gentoo Linux does not permit any kind of user privilege escalation. The second vulnerability (CVE-2008-2937) allows a local attacker, already having write permissions to the mail spool directory which is not the case on Gentoo by default, to create a previously nonexistent mailbox before Postfix creates it, allowing to read the mail of another user on the system. Workaround ========== The following conditions should be met in order to be vulnerable to local privilege escalation. * The mail delivery style is mailbox, with the Postfix built-in local(8) or virtual(8) delivery agents. * The mail spool directory (/var/spool/mail) is user-writeable. * The user can create hardlinks pointing to root-owned symlinks located in other directories. Consequently, each one of the following workarounds is efficient. * Verify that your /var/spool/mail directory is not writeable by a user. Normally on Gentoo, only the mail group has write access, and no end-user should be granted the mail group ownership. * Prevent the local users from being able to create hardlinks pointing outside of the /var/spool/mail directory, e.g. with a dedicated partition. * Use a non-builtin Postfix delivery agent, like procmail or maildrop. * Use the maildir delivery style of Postfix ("home_mailbox=Maildir/" for example). Concerning the second vulnerability, check the write permissions of /var/spool/mail, or check that every Unix account already has a mailbox, by using Wietse Venema's Perl script available in the official advisory. Resolution ========== All Postfix users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-mta/postfix-2.5.3-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-2936 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2936 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-2937 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2937 [ 3 ] Official Advisory http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.postfix.announce/110 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200808-12.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Dear Editors, we just posted a new article which might be interesting to your readers. A post in your news section would be appreciated. Title: Powercolor PCS HD 4850 512 MB Link: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Powercolor/HD_4850_PCS Brief: Powercolor's latest HD 4850 PCS graphics card is based on the AMD HD 4850 reference design but comes with an improved cooler and slightly increased core clocks. While the overclock makes only a small performance difference, the cooler substantially improves the product. Even under load the PCS 4850 is barely audible which makes it the quietest graphics card ever tested - of all performance classes.

Today we will be looking at ECS's P45 powerhouse, The ECS Black Series P45T-A. The board arrives in a fantasy themed box, and features a nice slick black PCB. The "Black Series" is the ECS moniker that is supposed to stand for ECS's new focus on an enthusiast product line. ECS has long been a OEM powerhouse, but they have often failed to crack the DIY enthusiast level market. Does this board succeed? Read on to find out. URL: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=603 Quote: "The stock performance of the board was right were it should be. Even though it utilized memory bandwidth that was about 33MHz slower (DDR2-800 vs. DDR2-1066), it was not enough to cause more than slight variances in benchmark numbers. I would have liked to see ECS include support for the faster FSB and Memory speeds, as the chipset clearly seems to support it on almost all the other P45 based products. Why ECS choose not to follow suite remains a mystery to me." Thanks for a post! Ryan Shrout Owner - PC Perspective rshrout ( -at -) pcper.com

Lian-Li's reputation in the world of computer enthusiasts is legendary and their products are considered to be some of the best quality cases available. Today we will take a look at one of their larger ATX midi tower cases the V1010B. The V1010B is a very spacious midi tower case which can easily be mistaken for a full tower and it is loaded with features ... the end result is something quite special indeed. http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=608 DriverHeaven and GamingHeaven News Mailer

Dear Webmasters and partners, Techconnect Magazine has posted a new article which you and your readers might find interesting, a review of OCZ's 4GB Rally2 Turbo flash drive. Title: OCZ Rally2 Turbo 4GB Flash Drive URL: http://www.tcmagazine.com/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=243 Quote: "Looking at the drive tested today it’s quite impressive realizing how much one word - Turbo - can make a difference. While it kept the basic design of the Rally2 intact, OCZ has went all-out with the skin/metal casing deep enhancements and made the Turbo drive a lot more attractive by giving it a substantial boost in transfer speed." We thank you in advance for providing massive linkage and front page mentions.

Dear Webmasters and Newsposters, BurnOutPC.com has just posted their review on the Cyber Snipa Sonar 5.1 headset. Quote "Cyber Snipa's Sonar 5.1. design is somewhat funky, it has these flame red ear cups and the rest of the design is all black. It has the same styling as the Cyber Snipa Stinger mouse we reviewed a while back. It's like Razer using their neon green and black theme. Cyber does it the other way round and uses hot rod red to fire things up a bit. These headphones have a bunch of neat features, for starters their 5.1 surround. This means you could actually make out the difference between an enemy sneaking up behind on your or watch your dvd's with all the sound effects and rumble. Yes that's right this headset what Cyber Snipa likes to call Force Feedback built inside."

Hello dear reader, *Xirex 4mm Thick Water Block Tested for Geforce 8800 GT* ------------------------------ NVIDIA had quite a success with their 8800 video card series; especially their 8800 GT based on the G92 core made its way into many PC configurations. Sadly the single slot reference cooler was not very quiet under load and high temperatures prevent any overclocking fun. Xirex launched their Stealth Full Cover water block which aims to bring excellent performance even with low noise water cooling configurations, let's put it to the test! http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=856 __________________ Thank you in advance for posting,

Summary: Updated yum-rhn-plugin packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - noarch 3. Description: The yum-rhn-plugin provides support for yum to securely access a Red Hat Network (RHN) server for software updates. It was discovered that yum-rhn-plugin did not verify the SSL certificate for all communication with a Red Hat Network server. An attacker able to redirect the network communication between a victim and an RHN server could use this flaw to provide malicious repository metadata. This metadata could be used to block the victim from receiving specific security updates. (CVE-2008-3270) This flaw did not allow an attacker to install malicious packages. Package signatures were verified and only packages signed with a trusted Red Hat GPG key were installed. Red Hat would like to thank Justin Samuel for discussing various package update mechanism flaws which led to our discovery of this issue. Users of yum-rhn-plugin are advised to upgrade to this updated packages, which resolves this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network.

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Visual) - ECS GeForce 9600 GT Graphics Card QUOTE: "I’ve seen more 9600 GT cards than I would like to honestly admit. The bottom line is, though, that the card does offer some excellent value for money and if you don’t have the budget to buy new high-end cards like the HD 4870 or GTX 280 and GTX 260, the 9600 GT still remains a very good option. Today we’re going to take the time to check out the latest 9600 GT incarnation from ECS and see what it has to offer over the competition. In a time where bundles and overclocks separate brands, we see if the latest version from ECS can stand out."
