    Various Unix RPC services contain a bug derived from the main RPC
    reference implementation. Solaris systems, glibc-based systems and
    BSD-derived libc-based systems are affected, as are specific RPC
    packages such as OpenAFS. More general information is available in
    item {02.31.009} in the Cross-Platform category. Additional specific
    RPC services will be included as individual entries in future SAC
    newsletters as they become known.

    Also this week, Microsoft released Windows 2000 Service Pack 3
    (item {02.31.019}) and IBM released an APAR security rollup for July
    (item {02.31.012}).

    Until next week,
