October 29, 1999 SECURITY UPDATE: ypserv

This package fixes several problems:

– A bug allowed for all admins on a NIS domain to inject
password tables into the NIS server.
– A user on a NIS domain could change the login shell and GECOS
information (real name, etc.) of other users.
– There was a potential buffer overflow in the MD5 hash
generation.
