I just found a "junkbuster" proxy on a RedHat 6.2 machine being used to relay spam - a bit ironic, considering the intention of the program. This is junkbuster-2.0-1 installed as part of a "complete install" on RedHat 6.2. It seems that the default install sets no ACL, no logging, and starts the program on boot. This is not the buffer overflow reported in 1998. It is a simple use of the HTTP CONNECT method similar to the Korean school Apache proxies The default for junkbuster 2.0-2 is to listen on localhost only, so modern installs should be safe. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada Tel. +1 (604) 222-7376 security@triumf.ca
