<para>Clam AV IFrame exploit - False alarm</para>

<para>Clam AV indicates that it detected a few exploits in The LDP
|
|
archives in case you are mirroring them. Specifically, files from the
|
|
LDP/LGNET and the LDP/LG directories. These are false positives and not

|
a cause for worry. </para>

XML-editors by Thijs van den Broe. The report looks at 23 different

|
editors and benchmarks them against various features (eg, Multilingual

|
text input and display, Support for different schema languages). It
|
|
also presents the results of an evaluation exercise where different user

<para>Machtelt Garrels (Tille) signed up as the LDAP matter expert and
|
|
after the spirit of David Lawyer's idea to take responsibility for the
|
|
subject for which you are an expert, she will have a go at the current
|
|
documents that deal with LDAP: primarily the LDAP HOWTO and LDAP
|
|
Implementation HOWTO, but also these HOWTOs which have LDAP as a
|
|
sub-subject: Apache Webdav LDAP HOWTO and Apache Compile HOWTO. Some of
|
|
these are quite old, I'll contact the authors and check if they are
|
|
still maintaining their document. As this is a "pilot project", Tille
|
|
will keep us posted. </para>
