An xterm that does not run setuid or setgid is not vulnerable to the xterm logging problem. CAUTION: A Sun patch (#100728-02) was issued on December 9, 1992 to give system administrators the option of running xterm setuid root. Installing this patch will introduce the xterm logging vulnerability. So check your xterm. If either the setuid or setgid privilege bit is set on the xterm program, the vulnerability can be exploited. Contact Sun for further information. X.org (Publicly distributed version of X.) You can patch X11R5 by applying all patches up to and including fix-26. See the associated CERT Advisory (CA-93:17) for further information. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMaMycXVP+x0t4w7BAQHi5gQA3N7OmcdnqFkvW1vYw2L1oL4+lifXhbOb H1GkL0ezcy+NHhY8Hhem/OvGmHle/3V9t4lC4mq4nERbMFKhoXj/ySivWkkk1LQq BcaV4+oxXiC2FF4ObJm0toJxBnWX+/JG4U52tbalfx9mBrTP3mDkxvsEvOs2WaUn O5OwN0IMoQs= =dKoL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
