    su Security Patch
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    I.   Description
    
            Several security holes were found in the "su" program along with
            the iaf library.
    
    II.  Impact
    
            Without these patches, unauthorized users may gain privileges.
    
    III. Releases
    
            This SSE contains binaries for:
    
            UnixWare 2.1.3
            UnixWare 7.0.0 through 7.1.1
    
    IV.  Solution
    
    SCO is providing an interim patch to address this issue in the form of a
    System Security Enhancement (SSE) package.
    
    SSE039 contains replacement binaries for each system type, and is
    available for Internet download via anonymous ftp, and from the SCOFORUM
    on Compuserve.
    
    You can download the SSE package as follows:
    
    Anonymous ftp (World Wide Web URL):
    
        ftp://ftp.sco.COM/SSE/sse039.ltr    (cover letter, ASCII text)
        ftp://ftp.sco.COM/SSE/sse039.tar.Z  (new binaries, compressed tar
    file)
    
    Compuserve:
    
        GO SCOFORUM, and search Library 11 (SLS/SSE Files) for these
    filenames:
    
            SSE039.LTR      (cover letter, ASCII text)
            SSE039.TAZ      (new binaries, compressed tar file)
    
    Checksums (sum -r):

    ftp://ftp.sco.COM/SSE/security_bulletins/SB-99.19a, and will be
