I just got a letter from RedHat asking me to return my CDE software and uninstall it. Apperantly there are some major security holes which enable a user to get root access and "Several exploits have been found that allow any user on your network to gain full access to your CDE session." I've searched the web for any info on this and found nothing, sorry if this is not new news - I just got the letter today.
Its probably the ToolTalk bug: http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/bulletins/i-091.shtml -- Dave Dittrich Client Services dittrich () cac washington edu Computing & Communications University of Washington <a href="http://www.washington.edu/People/dad/"> Dave Dittrich / dittrich () cac washington edu [PGP Key]</a>
