    Is it me or is this issue date incorrect? Looking up all of the bug IDs
    associated with this advisory shows that none have been resolved before
    4/17/2001, and many are still not even marked as resolved.
    
    This date seems misleading to me, because I've never seen or heard of such
    an update by Redhat. It seems to give the wrong impression that this
    security update was available from them on 4/10/2001. Though I am not
    trying to attack Redhat, can anyone confirm this patch was available at
    the date specified?
    
    Viraj.
