According to this posting on the SecWatch board today, there are some issues with the CJ Tag Board software that allow for code injection issues.   Multiple input validation vulnerabilities in CJ Tag Board have been reported, which can be exploited by remote users to compromise a vulnerable system.   The issue comes from improperly filtered user input for the "User-Agent" HTTP header and the "banned" parameter for the admin side. This issue effects CJ Tag Board version 3.0. No update or patch has been posted as of yet to correct this issue.

Michael Kimsal has posted a formal prediction that a patch, created by someone in the community, will emerge making it simple to bridge the gap between PHP4 and PHP5 applications.   Given the high number of shared hosts still running PHP4, the backwards compatibility issues going from 4->5 (yes, there are some!) and the new PHP4 "end of life" date (8/8/8), someone will likely find a way to make these run together, and possibly even charge money for it.   He suggests that many hosts out there would happily pay a sum to get this kind of functionally for their customers. It would provide a solution to customers who just don't understand the force towards PHP5 and would make them (and their PHP4 applications) happier.

Thanks to a software glitch, a 28-mile stretch of "virtual security fence" along the U.S.-Mexico border remains inoperative. Until the contractor fixes the problem and proves the technology works, the government withholds further payment.

I don't know what the big deal is about the alleged forgery in Weber County, the embezzlement in Davis County and extortion in Salt Lake County. These people are all U.S. citizens and, as such, should be allowed at least one free crime -- just as many are willing to allow illegal aliens.

It seems  PubSub.com is offering a bounty  on an HTTP Delta implementation of RFC 3229.  This seems in response to the current meme  of RSS and Atom syndication bloat.   First off this is certainly *very* generous of them.  I'd like to see this happen more.  Good for you guys!  I myself  have thought that HTTP Deltas were a viable solution but I was wrong.  Of course most people aren't familiar with HTTP deltas.  Eseentially what an HTTP delta enables is a client/server differential protocol that can exchange a patch from the server to the client.  The client is then patched and it will then have the updated version without having to transfer the *entire* document again.  For example say you ...
