TCP/IP WORM PROTECTION
Recently the Internet (TCP/IP) community experienced a worm that
disrupted many computers on that network. At the same time, two other
security bugs were reported that did not share the spotlight with the
worm. Any of these security holes has the potential of allowing
unauthorized users access to a system, and the potential for them to
become superusers. Fixes are available to all TCP/IP customers for the
following AT&T Enhanced WIN*/3B TCP/IP products:
