Ultra Monkey is a project to create load balanced and highly available network services. For example a cluster of web servers that appear as a single web server to end-users. The service may be for end-users across the world connected via the internet, or for enterprise users connected via an intranet.
Ultra Monkey makes use of the Linux operating system to provide a flexible solution that can be tailored to a wide range of needs. From small clusters of only two nodes to large systems serving thousands of connections per second.
New heartbeat packages have been made available for Ultra Monkey 3 on both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 [offsite] and Debian Sarge [offsite] in order to address a bug in ldirectord which caused it to die when connect checks were used.
Uses who make use of connect checks in ldirecord are advised to upgrade.
The updated packages are available in the download directory

New heartbeat packages have been made available for Ultra Monkey 3 on both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 [offsite] and Debian Sarge [offsite] in order to address the security flaw, CVE-2006-3121.
CVE-2006-3121 is a remotely exploitable denail of service resulting from incorrect parsing of data read from the network. The result is that anyone who can send a packet to heartbeat can cause it to segmentation fault.
All users whose heartbeat machines are not protected from hostile users by a firewall are recommended to upgrade.
