Feel free to forward around] Florence, 28 April 2005 +++ Main AGNULA host back online after attack After the attack (and potential compromise) that the AGNULA main host (agnula.speech.kth.se) suffered from in the past days [0], we are happy to announce that we concluded the reinstallation process. All the services provided by the host have been restored and are, to the best of our knowledge, fully functional. +++ After the attack (and potential compromise) that the AGNULA main host (agnula.speech.kth.se) suffered from in the past days [0], we are happy to announce that we concluded the reinstallation process. All the services provided by the host have been restored and are, to the best of our knowledge, fully functional. On Sunday, April 16 2005, the main AGNULA host (agnula.speech.kth.se, hosting lists.agnula.org, www.agnula.org, download.agnula.org, devel.agnula.org, muzik.agnula.org and related services) was subject to an attack (see below). The attacker(s) (whose identity is unknown as of today) managed to download, *but not succesfully run*, a backdoor on the system; thanks to the tight security measures implemented on the host - and after a thorough check of the whole system - we had reasons to believe that the latter was *not* compromised. However, following good security practices and common sense, we could not guarantee the integrity of the host. Since we had already planned an extensive upgrade of the server, we decided to go down the safer route: completely wipe out the system, reinstall everything from scratch and recover backup data from the day before the attempted compromise. The reinstallation process has now come to an end. All the services should be back online as you read this e-mail (actually, they started to come back before this announcement, but we preferred to do some checks in advance). Please feel free to contact <info(a)agnula.org>, should you notice any problem. +++ About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution, pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded until April 2004 by the European Commission (number of contract: IST-2001-34879; key action IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical mass).

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] ALSA support in Sysexxer CVS

by Christoph Eckert

Hi, thanks to the work of Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas there's now true ALSA support for Sysexxer in the CVS repository. Now it is possible to use it even in conjunction with multiport MIDI cards like the MIDIsport 8x8. It still needs some testing, so you're invited to check it out from the CVS. On some systems it is known that it will not build, namely SuSE 9.2. This will be fixed, but it still needs some time. Have fun with it, ce

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] jamin-0.95.0 release

by Jack O'Quin

The third stable release (0.95.0) of JAMin - the JACK Audio Mastering interface is now available for download. This is a maintenance update, fixing some problems in preparation for a future release 1. JAMin is a GPL-licensed, realtime mastering processor designed to bring out the detail in recorded music and provide a final layer of polish. Every effort has been made to ensure a clean, distortion-free signal path. All processing elements use linear-phase filtering to eliminate phase distortion. JAMin runs on Linux using the JACK Audio Connection Kit, a low-latency audio server. JACK connects multiple applications to a single sound device, and also share audio among themselves. It relies on other JACK applications (like ardour, ecasound, or rezound) for playback and recording. Homepage http://jamin.sourceforge.net/ Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jamin/jamin-0.95.0.tar.gz?download * bug fixes -- resolve GUI hang in meter widget -- allow multiple JAMin instances (needs a fast CPU) -- eliminate low frequency distortion problem * compatibility with recent CVS versions of JACK -- still works with older versions of JACK, but earlier JAMin versions will not work with the next JACK (0.101.0) release -- uses new jack_client_open() interface, if available - starts JACK server automatically, if not already running - supports multiple JACK server instances - creates multiple JAMin instances automatically * user interface improvements -- bypass button is red now, when selected -- redesigned preferences dialog -- peak resets (right click) in all meters -- new About dialog -- better i18n support -- updated Russian message translations * web page redesign -- joq

Feel free to forward around] Florence, 19 April 2005 +++ Main AGNULA Host attacked (and potentially compromised) On Sunday, April 16 2005, the main AGNULA host (agnula.speech.kth.se, hosting lists.agnula.org, www.agnula.org, download.agnula.org, devel.agnula.org, muzik.agnula.org and related services) was subject to an attack (see below).

Since we had already planned an extensive upgrade of the server, we decided to go down the safer route: completely wipe out the system, reinstall everything from scratch and recover backup data from the day before the attempted compromise. The wipeout/installation/recover operations will begin tomorrow (April 20, 2005) early afternoon (approximately 3:00 p.m., Central European Time). They should be concluded *at most* on Monday (April 25, 2005) - we actually hope to do everything much quicker, but you will understand our main concern in this moment is reliability and not speed. In the meantime, we urge you to use the mirrors at: * http://freesoftware.ircam.fr/mirrors/agnula/ * http://ccrma.stanford.edu/mirrors/agnula/ The mailing lists (including the archives), the main web site, the AGNULA Libre Music web site, the AGNULA Development platform will be unusable until after the reinstallation process is finished. We are quite confident that you can safely download and install the latest released version of A/DeMuDi (1.2.1-rc2) as well as all the previous ones, as the relevant ISO images were uploaded on the server before the attack and we have no tangible proof that they have been tampered with. +++ The attack The attack used a bug in GForge 3.x "scm" subsystem. We decided not to immediately disclose full information on the type of the attack; we promptly informed to the maintainers of the affected program, and we are waiting for the "green light" on their side before posting details in the wild. We urge all administrators of GForge-based systems (all 3.x series seem affected by it) to temporarily disable the "scm" subsystem, until a proper patch has been issued. The discovery and the analysis were conducted by Filippo Morelli <spike(a)miu-ft.org>. We would like to publically thank him for his prompt action and detailed report, that allowed us to take the necessary steps very quickly. +++ About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution, pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded until April 2004 by the European Commission (number of contract: IST-2001-34879; key action IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical mass).
