I am running Linux 2.0.30 (Redhat 4.2) and have recently been hacked.
I have tightened up security but still feel vulnerable.
In running the program mscan which was kindly left on my system I get this.
bullnet.co.uk: VULN: linux box vulnerable to named overflow.
194.242.135.145: VULN: redhat linux box running imapd.
This is after upgrading to the versions as below.
bind-4_9_7-0
imap-4.1.final-0
Should I be concerned.
