- one new security incident being handled
- ongoing handling of several other incidents
- SVG: 6 New Vulnerabilities reported (5 concerning 1 piece of software, discovered by one of the RAT members, Simon Fayer)
- Torque still not sorted, problem found with special build which was thought to be a solution, in that accounting breaks, new version in work.
- Still not sure about long term solution - we will need to consider this and the more general case where software is widely deployed and is neither linux (where problems are usually quickly solved) nor grid middleware.
- UAB about to start on Vulnerability assessment of some parts of Unicore.
- Various problems solved concerning breaking of NGI-security-contacts list and other tools due to new GOCDB and connection problems.
- Security training/workshop in Linkoping joint with PRACE and EUDAT.
