    Debian Security Advisory http://www.debian.org/security/

    Some Debian Project machines have been compromised

    This is a very unfortunate incident to report about. Some Debian
    servers were found to have been compromised in the last 30 hours.

    The archive is not affected by this compromise!

    The security server is not yet restored and security updates are
    currently not available.

    In particular the following machines have been affected:

      . master (Bug Tracking System)
      . murphy (mailing lists)
      . gluck (web, cvs)
      . klecker (security, non-us, web search, www-master, qa)

    Some of these services are currently not available as the machines
    undergo close inspection. Some services have been moved to other
    machines (www.debian.org for example).

    The security archive will be verified from trusted sources before it
    will become available again.

    Please note that we have recently prepared a new point release for
    Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody), release 3.0r2. While it has not been
    announced yet, it has been pushed to our mirrors already. The
    announcement was scheduled for this morning but had to be postponed.
    This update has now been checked and it is not affected by the
    compromise.

    We apologise for the disruptions of some services over the next few
    days. We are working on restoring the services and verifying the
    content of our archives.
