[comp.unix.sysv386] Security bug is in ESIX, too

chip@tct.uucp (Chip Salzenberg) (02/21/91)

In my articles, I've mentioned Everex every time I've mentioned ISC,
because ESIX also has the upage bug.  What is the history of the ESIX
bug?  Have all four versions (A-D) had it?  Was Everex tech support
aware of it, and since when?  I'd hate to see Everex get off scott
free just because ISC was also stupid.

Is that $895 price for UHC SYSVR4 for a 2-user system, or unlimited?  Does
it include Development System, X, or anything else?  Also, SYSVR4 is pretty
new and from what the net says, pretty full of bugs (to be expected);  what
will UHC do about upgrades/bug fixes?  Just who IS "UHC" anyway?

Enquiring minds want to know :-)
