Not exactly a hall-of-shame sort of mailing list, but we have something similar at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.oss.general Or if you are only interested in Linux kernel-related security-relevant bugs: http://search.gmane.org/?query=eugene+teo&author=&group=gmane.comp.security.oss.general&sort=date&DEFAULTOP=and&xP=Zeugen%09Zteo&xFILTERS=Gcomp.security.oss.general---A Btw, Linux distributors only send out an advisory if they have fixed something. As for the CIFS vulnerability, as Marcus has mentioned, a fix is still being worked on. You can keep track of the progress here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.oss.general/1620/focus=1629 Thanks, Eugene -- http://www.kernel.sg/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
