    OK, did I miss the later messages on this topic?  I've been waiting for a
    formal announcement from Sun, or a real patch, or someone to say that this
    patch definitely fixes the problem, or SOMETHING...
    
    I don't know what version of patching Peter was talking about, but right
    now, I can consistently gain root on my Solaris 7 sparc box, with MU2
    applied, using the LC_MESSAGES buffer overflow exploit.  And I can
    consistently do Bad Things to sh on a Solaris 2.6 box with 105210-19
    (its a production machine, I can't actively root it).
    
    I'm praying I missed something.  Did I?
