Yesterday I made a post concerning a 0day advisory in Backtrack 5 R2: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2012/Apr/123 The posting was incorrect, the vulnerability was NOT in Backtrack but in wicd, no Backtrack contributed code is vulnerable. When we tweeted and emailed to mailing lists the notifications of this vulnerability, we incorrectly shortened the title and called it "Backtrack 5 R2 priv escalation 0day ", which is misleading and could lead people to believe the bug was actually in Backtrack. The bug has always resided in wicd and not in any Backtrack team written code. We apologize for the confusion to the Backtrack team and any other persons affected by this error. We feel the Backtrack distro is a great piece of software and wish muts and the rest of the team the best.
