It seems like pubsvn.ez.no has been hacked. When I visited it a minute ago, it said:

<removed>

Googling for this name returned lists of attack reports.

I guess I should warn you all here though the hacker did not cause harm except the defacement (from a Windows NT5.1 IE6 client).

The exploit used was a bug in awstats. So if you have this installed better upgrade to the latest version (6.3)

http://awstats.sourceforge.net/

or disable external access

I hope to have the server back in the air by this evening with a brand new install of SuSE 9.2 and all security related patches.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Thanks for looking at the issue Paul. Sorry for SMS'ing you on your day off :(

I know you provide pubsvn free of charge and we all thank you for it and for the quick action on the issue this morning.

One suggestion; can we remove the hacker name so they do not get any more publicity.

Hello

Server is up again runing on a fresh copy of SuSE9.2, but currently listens only to http://ezpsvn.sckcen.be until the DNS entries are updated.

updates of the main repository will be enabled from tomorrow, the community repository is fully functional.

Sorry for the downtime :-(

Hello,

pubsvn.ez.no now points again to the right server (thanks Bård and Sten), so all links should work again.

Since it now runs with a different apache config (mpm-worker), please report any issues here or email to pborgerm at sckcen dot be

Also, I'm interested in the performance of the livecd downloads:

Hi Paul,

I got ~100KB/Sec download and downloaded in just over an hour and a quarter so no complaints.

I downloaded the first 10MB (I don't actually need the CD ;-), pushed a solid 240KB/s my way which is pretty much maxing out the 2mbit here. ETA was a little over 35min.

I am downloading now around 345KB/s which is fair enough, estimated time around 20 minutes.

Cheers,

Hapee

Hi Paul B,

In case you're not aware, WebSVN produces some PHP error msgs similar to:

Warning: gzopen(./cache/_srv_svn_community_log_522): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /srv/websvn/include/svnlook.inc on line 156

Sincerely,

Thanks Eirik,

the websvn interface should be OK now, but the viewcvs interface not yet ... I'm working on it right now

---edit

viewcvs is also ok now as far as i tested

The last time i had bandwidth like that i was at university!

Would a torrent of the iso be of use to people. I would use a torrent.

Torrents are always nice. But if ez doesn't care for the traffic (some people got 100mbit flat and the like) it doesn't seem so badly needed ;-).

Np, i thought the good old days of free bandwidth was gone. But you know what they say, if you've got it flaunt it!
