0 Day Exploit, Linux Servers are Vulnerable

    My site was shut down today for about six or seven hours. Brain Bucket runs on a server powered by Linux. A 0 day exploit has made it to the public resulting in our server being hacked. Any server running kernel version 2.6.17 to 2.6.24.1. I are exploitable. This affects thousands of servers worldwide.

    If you want to read the article I wrote about it, you can at http://www.brainbucketmag.com/News/article/sid=3169.html. It's mostly geared towards my readers who are not usually tech savvy. But the security risk is real.

    It's been a real pain in the azz to restore all of my sites, but I think I'm done.

    If your site is running on a server with that kernel, you need to be in touch with your server's admin to fix the risk.

    This is a local exploit, not remote, correct?
