“A majority of the advisories released this week were for
syslogd/klogd. Caldera, SuSE, Mandrake, Trustix, Slackware, Debian,
and RedHat have all made updated packages available. It is
important that you update this package because the vulnerability
could result in a local root compromise.”
“Other advisories included glint, screen, and xchat. Screen also
has the risk of a local root compromise. The glint vulnerability
can be used to maliciously destruct files.”
