(Get the code!)
And while we wait or fail to address this, countless other installations will happen.
Worse still, we have a plethora of installations that are happily waiting the unsuspecting audience member that has installed a game server.
The big problem here is that more than a year and a half has passed and we don't have a resolution in any way, shape, or form. I'd be pretty certain that at least one person that has read this report is capable of raising and forcing the issue to either be resolved or dismissed.
Debian's policy is absolutely absurd on servers. How much vision does it take to realize that this is a fundamental security problem? How much vision does it take to realize that it impacts our audience _right now_? How much vision does it take to realize that this should have _nothing_ to do with politics?
Remember the Debian security debacle from a few months ago? Remember the black eye? How would more feel? Say hello to Ubuntu XP edition...
Passive security is no security.
