Hi listers, in case like me it escaped your attention last December, there is a security alert concerning a flaw in /bin/login on some Unix / Linux variants permitting an intruder to gain root access.
At least AIX and SOLARIS are concerned but check carefully with your OS vendor and patch accordingly. ( for Aix 4.3 fix is APAR IY26443 ) Here are some references : http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-34.html http://xforce.iss.net/static/7284.php http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/246487 For once NT fellows, you are safe...
