1.1 deraadt 310: Two problems have recently been discovered in the KerberosIV code.<p>
311: 1. A symlink problem was discovered in the KerberosIV password checking
312: routines /usr/bin/su and /usr/bin/login, which makes it possible for a
313: local user to overwrite any file on the local machine.<p>
314: 2. It is possible to specify environment variables in telnet
315: which will be passed over the to the remote host. This makes it
316: possible to set environment variables on the remote side, including
317: ones that have special meaning on the server. It is not clear at this
318: time what the impact is, but we recommend everyone to upgrade their
319: machines immediately.<p>
