1.1 deraadt 264: Two problems have recently been discovered in the KerberosIV code.<p>
265: 1. A symlink problem was discovered in the KerberosIV password checking
266: routines /usr/bin/su and /usr/bin/login, which makes it possible for a
267: local user to overwrite any file on the local machine.<p>
268: 2. It is possible to specify environment variables in telnet
269: which will be passed over the to the remote host. This makes it
270: possible to set environment variables on the remote side, including
271: ones that have special meaning on the server. It is not clear at this
272: time what the impact is, but we recommend everyone to upgrade their
273: machines immediately.<p>
