I trust you are all aware of the information released to

of mount/umount utilities in Linux.
I'd really appreciate if you provide some official information on
your distribution specific fixes for the upcoming Linux Security FAQ
Update...
Hmmm, it appears that everybody was expecting somebody else to
officially answer this.
Anyway, after rapid installations of mount 2.5j-1.1, mount 2.5k-1,
Debian 1.1.6 contains the latest: mount 2.5l-1.
Debian users can upgrade by simply pointing the dpkg-ftp method of
dselect at `ftp.debian.org:/debian/stable'.
Alternatively they can download the file
`ftp.debian.org:/debian/stable/binary-i386/base/mount_2.5l-1.deb' and
install it by hand with `dpkg -i mount_2.5l-1.deb'.
Alex, in the future please direct these questions to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
