WARNING: current kernels not safe

From: Vincent Danen (vdanenmandrakesoft.com)
Date: Wed Jul 23 2003 - 19:09:25 CDT

This is an urgent message for all 9.1 users. Please back out of the 24mdk
kernel update and downgrade to 18mdk or 13mdk as soon as you are able. A
problem exists in all kernels (except kernel-secure) where newly created
files are created mode 0666 (world writeable) on any filesystem other than
XFS, including remote NFS mounts.

We are working hard to attempt to get this problem corrected with new
kernels available in the next 24-48hrs.

Thank you.
