Announcing The Launching of AMANAK.ORG
The Arab Internet Safety Portal “Amanak” is an integral project addressing the issue of
on line safety in the Arab region. Stemming from a growing concern about the
importance of ensuring the safety of young people and families on the Internet in the
last couple of years, this ambitious plan is to create and avail an interactive platform for
all Arab countries to share information, best practices, resources and concerns about
children’s online safety. Most importantly, the AIS offers a platform for a dialogue, among
the Arab community. Amanak will also be a repository of knowledge and progress in the field.
The creation of the AIS was a decision of the 2nd International Executive Board meeting of the Cyber Peace Initiative of the Suzanne Mubarak Women’s International Peace Movement in 2009, to bridge a gap in existing in Arab resources and information related to the issue of family online safety. The portal is implemented in cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
I swim with Marcos Diaz
In the Summer of 2010, Marcos Diaz will swim across the continents to raise the voices of the world and show that we are not that far apart after all. His purpose is to bring global attention to the Millenium Development Goals and urge people to act and demand that the leaders deliver their promises by 2015.Today I had the chance to meet Marcos Diaz Good Will Ambassador of the Dominican Republic, he is swimming across the continents, as part of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals Campaign.
I'm so glad having the chance to meet him :))

GNU C Library vulnerabilities
Referenced CVEs:
CVE-2008-1391, CVE-2010-0296, CVE-2010-0830
Description:
===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-944-1 May 25, 2010 glibc, eglibc vulnerabilities
CVE-2008-1391, CVE-2010-0296, CVE-2010-0830
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Ubuntu 9.04 Ubuntu 9.10 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: libc6 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.6 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: libc6 2.7-10ubuntu6 Ubuntu 9.04: libc6 2.9-4ubuntu6.2 Ubuntu 9.10: libc6 2.10.1-0ubuntu17 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.1 After a standard system update you need to restart all services to make the necessary changes. Details follow: Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly handle integer overflows in the strfmon function. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted format string, a remote attacker could crash applications, leading to a denial of service. (Ubuntu 10.04 was not affected.) (CVE-2008-1391) Jeff Layton and Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly handle newlines in the mntent family of functions. If a local attacker were able to inject newlines into a mount entry through other vulnerable mount helpers, they could disrupt the system or possibly gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-0296) Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly validate certain ELF program headers. If a user or automated system were tricked into verifying a specially crafted ELF program, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2010-0830)
