A 3 year old bug in the xterm logging escapes that can lead to security holes (yet another good reason to use xmh or something like it :-) has been identified. A fix may be obtained via anonymous ftp from the machine expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212) in the file "/pub/R4/fixes/fix-6" or from the xstuff server as follows (for more information, see below): % mail xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu Subject: send fixes 6 path mymachine!me@uunet.uu.net ^D where mymachine!me@uunet.uunet is a path from expo.lcs.mit.edu back to you, (see below). XSTUFF INFO For those without ftp access, individual fixes can be obtained by mail by sending a message to the archive server at xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu. The subject line should read send fixes 6 For a list of other fixes, send another message with a subject line of: index fixes Information on other areas that are available from the xstuff server may be obtained by sending another message with a subject line of: help The xstuff server attempts to extract a return address from your message. If you are using a system that does not produce usable headers, you can specify a particular return path in the body of your message, i.e.: path foo%bar.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu or path zot!gzork!me@uunet.uu.net
