        Immunix OS Security Advisory

Packages updated: pine
Affected products: Immunix OS 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0
Bugs Fixed: immunix/1563
Date: April 14, 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-015-01
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregwirex.com>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Description:

  Versions of pine that shipped with Immunix 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0 are
  vulnerable to temp file races which could allow malicious users to
  obtain root privileges. This release fixes this problem, and many
  other pine bugs (see http://www.washington.edu/pine/changes.html for a
  full list of all of the bug fixed.)

  Immunix 7.0 does not install the pine packages by default but provides
  them in the extras/unsupported directory so they do not need to be
  upgraded unless they have been installed manually by the system
  administrator.
