Originalnachricht

A local /tmp bug in the /usr/sbin/ppp-off program was found.  This bug
could allow a local user to corrupt system files. A fix has been made and
an updated package is now available in the -current branch.

The package described below will work for users of Slackware 7.0, 7.1, and
-current.

ppp package updated - (n1/ppp.tgz)

A local /tmp bug in the /usr/sbin/ppp-off program has been found and
fixed. The new ppp.tgz package is available from:

ppp.tgz

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ppp.tgz PACKAGE:

Disable any running pppd processes:

# killall pppd

Then issue this command:

Remember, it's also a good idea to backup configuration files before
upgrading packages.
