Hacker Group to Release OpenSSH Exploit and Worm: "Give us 48 Hours"
After rumors of an OpenSSH exploit vulnerability got out, an anonymous hacker group intends to release the exploit code and an accompanying worm "within 48 hours."
A hacker group calling itself the Anti-Sec Movement wants two days to "publicly unveil working exploit code" for an OpeSSH vulnerability. The threat came July 20 as a message on the Full-disclosure mailing list.
Apart from rumors, the lack of conclusive evidence of the OpenSSH vulnerability has meant that most experts see the threat as somewhat hollow. OpenSSH is by far the most widely used remote access software. However, most configurations disable SSH access by default or protect it by a firewall.
