Subject: The last word on the Linux Slapper worm

So called "Slapper activity" in the logs is simply an attempt to talk http
to an https port. Any browser or web spider/robot/crawler will generate
this.

This detailed in the CERT update
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-27.html

Send me the exploit and I'll test it against the server.  I've seen
Slapper activity in the logs, but I haven't seen any compromise.  As of
this writing (I just checked), Red Hat only has opensssl 0.9.6b-28
available as an RPM on their update site (for Red Hat 7.2.)
