SECURITY BUG IN INTERACTIVE UNIX AND ESIX

[Chip Salzenberg]

According to cpcahil at virtech.uucp (Conor P. Cahill):
>Yes ISC made a big mistake in letting this bug go.
>HOWEVER, they are trying to get a fix out as soon as they can.

After having let this bug go for over a year, we're supposed to be
UNDERSTANDING because THEY need TIME?

Render unto us a break.

>>Such security holes are intolerable.
>
>Yes we all agree on this, even ISC.  

Actually, ISC's and Everex's attitude is apparently:  "Such security
holes are intolerable -- *unless* we can keep them secret."  A slight
difference, there.
