1.1 deraadt 311: Two problems have recently been discovered in the KerberosIV code.<p>
312: 1. A symlink problem was discovered in the KerberosIV password checking

314: local user to overwrite any file on the local machine.<p>
315: 2. It is possible to specify environment variables in telnet
316: which will be passed over the to the remote host. This makes it
317: possible to set environment variables on the remote side, including
318: ones that have special meaning on the server. It is not clear at this

320: machines immediately.<p>
