For instance I'm running the php5 package using apt-get install php5. The reported version is: PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9
However, there's currently listed 53 vulnerabilities for PHP/5.2.6 on CVE:
Long link to CVE exploits list
Here's my question. Is PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9 patched against these vulnerabilities? (Perhaps that's what the +lenny9 part is for?) How do I check?
For instance, how would I check whether the recent EXIF vulnerability is patched in the current Debian Lenny package?
Are there any log file viewers available for OSX? Or, off-the-shelf programs that can be configured to parse IIS files.
Perhaps something int he MacPorts tree?
I'm running vsftpd using the Debian Lenny package. ftp:nogroup is the user/group that uploads files and owns uploaded files. However, a problem is arising - another process is also writing files to the FTP directory as myprocess:mygroup with restrictive file permissions, preventing vsftpd from overwriting the myprocess authored files. Is it possible to tell vsftpd to use a different user/group for uploading files? (preferably as myprocess:mygroup or ftp:mygroup)
Usually after dumping a MySQL database with mysqldump command I immediately tar/gzip the resultant file. I'm looking for a way to do this in one command:
So from this:
mysqldump dbname -u root -p > dbname.sql
tar czvf dbname.sql.tgz dbname.sql
rm dbname.sql
To something like this:
mysqldump dbname -u root -p > some wizardry > dbname.sql.tgz
Or even better (since I'm usually scp'ing the dump file to another server):
mysqldump dbname -u root -p > send dbname.sql.tgz to user@host
I'm running bash on debian.
Here's a simple one. How do I truncate an existing file in linux? That is, how do I empty the contents of the file but keep the file. I can always delete the file then touch it but I was wondering if there's a single command that'll get the job done.
