For Red Hat users:
Apr 16th
Potential security problems have been identified in the rsync package
shipped with Red Hat Linux 5.2. A user can not exploit this hole
deliberately to gain privileges (ie. this is not an "active" security
hole)
but a system administrator could easily be caught by the bug and
inadvertently compromise the security of their system.
Red Hat would like to thank Andrew Tridgel for providing an update that
fixed the problem.
Apr 16th
Potential security problems have been identified in all the procmail
packages shipped with Red Hat Linux. Currently Red Hat is not aware of
any
exploits built on these vulnerabilities.
Red Hat would like to thank the members of the Bugtraq list for
reporting
these problems and the authors of procmail for quickly providing an
update.
Apr 16th
Security vulnerabilities have been found in the versions of lpr
that ship with Red Hat Linux. Thanks go to the Linux Security
Audit team for discovering the vulnerability. It is recommended
that all users of Red Hat Linux upgrade to the new packages.
Users of Red Hat Linux are recommended to upgrade to the new packages
available under updates directory on our ftp site.
