Subject: [S.u.S.E. Announce] Security Hole NFS/libc5


Dear Linux Users,

Recently a security hole was discovered in the NFS server (rpc.mountd)
that makes it possible for attackers to attain root access over the
network.  A security hole in libc5 that allows attackers to attain
root access was also found.

All S.u.S.E. Linux distributions are affected, including S.u.S.E. Linux
5.3.

Relevant packages can be found on our ftp server:

ftp.suse.com:/pub/suse_update/S.u.S.E.-5.3/n1/nkita-98.10.8-0.i386.rpm
ftp.suse.com:/pub/suse_update/S.u.S.E.-5.3/a1/shlibs-5.4.46-2.i386.rpm

MD5SUMS:

78804c032240a421501f6728d8a22812  nkita-98.10.8-0.i386.rpm
ff1bce4cf6ef903ce41da3b6e99279c0  shlibs-5.4.46-2.i386.rpm

Alternatively, both packets are also on the S.u.S.E. mirror at
ftp.gwdg.de:

ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/suse/suse_update/S.u.S.E.-5.3/n1/nkita-98.10.8-0.i386.rpm
ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/suse/suse_update/S.u.S.E.-5.3/a1/shlibs-5.4.46-2.i386.rpm

Your S.u.S.E. Team
