D, both *with* Math Coprocessor (was SECURITY BUG...) Keywords: BAD BUG Message-ID: <9001@sail.LABS.TEK.COM> Date: 19 Feb 91 19:46:46 GMT References: <1991Feb11.184130.11321@jwt.UUCP> Reply-To: keithe@sail.LABS.TEK.COM (Keith Ericson) Organization: Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton, OR. Lines: 19 I just tried it on my two systems: 1) ISC 2.0.2; Everex STEP/25 with coprocessor - the program runs and chmods the /etc/passed file as advertised 2) ESIX Rev. D; AMPTRON 386/33 with coprocessor - the program runs and chmods the /etc/passed file as advertised Fortunately these are both essentailly single-user (me), but they're on our local ethernet. Sigh..... Thanks, Joern, for your posting forcing getting these dudes to get off the pot. Echoing Karl's sentiments - they'd better post fixes to the net and not "restrict" them to "official channels" - look what "official channels" has gotten us *so* far! kEITHe
