    Very helpful. I'm running LinuxPPC here, which is partly based on
    RedHat. Could someone from RedHat please identify the programs in
    question, their version numbers, the history of the code or something
    else which allows me to find out whether I'm affected or not?
    
    No, Im not asking "gimme the xpl0itz". Far from it. But such
    announcements just don't help me. Instead they give me the uneasy
    feeling that out there are people which know about a security problem
    on my machine and don't tell me about it.
