                               18 November 1998

===========================================================================

Red Hat Software, Inc. has released the following advisory concerning a
vulnerability in the samba package available for all supported releases
of Red Hat Linux.

- ---------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------

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

Following our announcement yesterday about new samba packages being
available for our 5.2 release we have received reports that  samba packages
available for older releases of Red Hat Linux might be vulnerable as well.

As a result of this concern we are making available new samba packages for
all supported releases of Red Hat Linux. We apologize for not doing so
yesterday, when we tried to address a specific reported vulnerability.

Once again we express our thanks to Andrew Tridgell and the Samba team for
their assistance in addressing this problem.

All Red Hat linux users should upgrade to the new packages available from
our updates site:
