Subject: [linux-alert] SECURITY: New version of INN is available

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


There is a major security hole in recent versions of INN which allow
users to gain root access on your systems running them.  All users of Red
Hat 4.0 and Red Hat 4.1 are urged to upgrade to the inn-1.5.1-3 package
available from ftp.redhat.com. The same package will work on both 4.0
and 4.1 systems, and is available from ftp.redhat.com in /updates/4.0
and /updates/4.1. Users with direct Internet connections can upgrade
with one of the following commands:

i386:
rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/4.1/i386/inn-1.5.1-3.i386.rpm

alpha (note the --ignorearch is only needed for Red Hat 4.0/AXP users):
rpm -Uvh --ignorearch \
	ftp://ftp.redhat.com/4.1/updates/i386/inn-1.5.1-3.alpha.rpm

SPARC:
rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/4.1/sparc/inn-1.5.1-3.alpha.rpm

All of these packages have been signed with Red Hat's PGP key, which is
availble on all Red Hat CDROMs, ftp.redhat.com, and public keyservers.
