On Fri, 15 Aug 2003 17:04:03 PDT, security@....com said: 1) Subject line says "Samba security update available" - this is a *metamail* avisory. > Subject: UnixWare 7.1.2 Open UNIX 8.0.0 UnixWare 7.1.1 UnixWare 7.1.2 : exploitable buffer overrun in metamail > Advisory number: CSSA-2003-SCO.15 > Issue date: 2003 August 15 >From the changelog for the RedHat metamail package: * Tue Jun 23 1998 Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com> - Here we go again. One more quoting issue. * Mon Jun 22 1998 Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com> - If you want to know how not to write secure software then metamail is a good worked example. Mind you to be fair the original author wrote it as a prototype MIME tool and it stuck. Anyway it might actually be safe now. More from the Linux Security Audit Project. * Tue Jun 16 1998 Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com> - Round and round the tmp fixes go Where they stop nobody knows - More holes in metamail fixed - (Linux Security Audit Project) When you take *5 years* to get the fix out the door, could you at least take the time to get the *SUBJECT* of the e-mail right???? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
