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