159: 1. A symlink problem was discovered in the KerberosIV password checking

161: local user to overwrite any file on the local machine.<p>
162: 2. It is possible to specify environment variables in telnet
163: which will be passed over the to the remote host. This makes it
164: possible to set environment variables on the remote side, including
165: ones that have special meaning on the server. It is not clear at this
166: time what the impact is, but we recommend everyone to upgrade their
167: machines immediately.<p>
