S-284: Border Gateway Protocol Vulnerabilities

Boorder Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementations from multiple vendors including Juniper may not properly handle specially crafted BGP UPDATE messages. These vulnerabilities could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service. Disrupting BGP communication could lead to routing instability. The risk is LOW. A remote attacker could cause a denial of servcie by injecting a specially crafted BGP UPDATE message into a legitimate BGP session. An attacker with a configured BGP session could attack targets several BGP hops away, or an attacker could spoof TCP traffic.

pygm2n

pygm2n(1)						    Python Gateway mail to news 						 pygm2n(1)

NAME

       pygm2n - Python Gateway mail to news

SYNOPSIS

       pygm2n -n newsgroups [ -s newsserver ] [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION

       IMPORTANT: this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is in devel. state.  try -h option for more detailed option.

       pygm2n reads from stdin an email, sending it to newsgroups, a comma separated list without spaces of newsgroup names (at least one), rfc799
       compliant.

       If pygm2n reads from stdin a sigle line starting with /, it is considered an absolute path to a single-email mailbox, so pygm2n	will  open
       and read it.

       Note that now pyg can't read a real mailbox, with many emails. If you give it in input, pyg will post the whole mailbox as a single email.

EXAMPLES

       There is some documetation in /urs/share/doc/pyg

       I  created  mailgate  user  (moderator of local.moderated ng).  Subscribe to a list with this user (or simply email one message to).  Every
       email posted to this user will send to newsgroups, in its .procmailrc I've put something like:
