SuSE Security would like to thank Carl Livitt for his early notice to us
on that bug. Our update packages for the affected versions of SuSE Linux
(SL-7.2 - SL-8.1) are underway and should appear at the usual update
locations and via YOU (Yast Online Update) shortly.


Thanks,
Roman Drahtmüller,
SuSE Security.
