I'm observing RedHat Linux errata and still I do not find any news about XFree 3.3.3 server. I have rpm [midom@flag /tmp]$ rpm -q XFree86 XFree86-3.3.3.1-1 (latest available from RedHat errata page) why is RedHat delaying release of this package as it smells like root takeover (it was too easy to change /etc/ and /etc/passwd permissions to something neat). So again everyone should know, that there are other than vendor-provided security pages, as there is no information about fixing bug even in one of most important Linux sites. This is cross-platform bug, as I found it in all OS that run XFree86 3.3.3 server. As far as I know it is on every Linux distribution (especially newest ones) and BSD's. With respect, Domas Mituzas aka dammit
