[SECURITY HOLE] mailx bug

["Ravikant K.Rao" <ravikant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This hole in mailx drops you into a shell with mail group access
privileges. You can read/write/delete emails of any other user on the
box.

	Found to:

	a) work on stock slink,potato,woody boxes.
	b) /supposedly/ works on slackware
	c) NOT work on $distribution + secure-Linux [ Check with
Debian ]

	Moral of the story, get secure-Linux.

	Cheers.
