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

where mymachine!me@uunet.uunet is a path from expo.lcs.mit.edu back to you,
(see below).
