Overview

   The  CERT/CC has received a report that the system housing the 
primary
   FTP servers for the GNU software project was compromised.

I. Description

   The GNU Project, principally sponsored by the Free Software 
Foundation
   (FSF),  produces  a  variety of freely available software. The 
CERT/CC
   has  learned  that  the system housing the primary FTP servers for 
the
   GNU  software  project,  gnuftp.gnu.org,  was  root  compromised by 
an
   intruder.  The more common host names of ftp.gnu.org and 
alpha.gnu.org
   are  aliases  for  the  same  compromised  system.  The  compromise 
is
   reported to have occurred in March of 2003.
