    /tmp exploits have been found in svgalib and kbd. New versions of both
    of these packages are available for Red Hat Linux. All of these new
    packages have been signed with the Red Hat PGP key.
    
    svgalib is only available for i386 platforms, and kbd is only availble
    for Intel and SPARC (it was not included in Red Hat 4.2 on the SPARC).
    
    Thanks to Mark A. Spencer and Alan Cox for helping to find and fix these
    problems.
