[GLLUG] A little more on GHOST

[Robert Youngs, Jr.]

After a few days of dealing with GHOST, here's a link on the fix (which, 
essentially, entails updating glibc):

The vulnerability is that an attacker could gain the ability to execute 
code after sending an e-mail.  It looks to affect, mainly, Exim 
servers.  Not as bad as Heartbleed or POODLE, but it still merits 
attention from the open-source world.
