Comment on Some versions of Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz contain a backdoor

Comments

For a moment, I thought he was talking about the game...

Me too, I was thinking about how I was looking for an upgrade to the Linux UT 2003 a while back and couldn't find it on the official site. I decided downloading it from some random place was risky, and here was almost my reinforcing, validating catharsis - but alas, it's just about some IRC client that nobody uses.

Err, this isn't an IRC client, but an IRC server. I don't know about this specific version, but the unreal ircd is quite well used. This is big news.

Yup, very bad for a lot of smaller IRC networks; 3.2.8.1 is the latest version of UnrealIRCd and what most of them (assuming that they are up to date) are on.

It was a very good game. A couple months back I found the original (Windows) CD and wanted to install it on my Linux netbook, but, unfortunately, couldn't find it. Gave up completely.
