Insight
zen-parse has found a problem with Taylor UUCP as distributed with many GNU/Linux distributions. It was possible to make `uux' execute `uucp' with malicious commandline arguments which gives an attacker access to files owned by uid/gid uucp. This problem has been fixed in version of 1.06.1-11potato1 for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 by using a patch that RedHat has provided. We recommend that you upgrade your uucp package immediately.
