--- WARNING ---
There is a security hole in IRIX 3.3 and 3.3.1 /usr/sbin/Mail.
Due to the nature of this problem, I shall provide no further details.
For the benefit of those with immediate security concerns, a fixed
/usr/sbin/Mail binary has been made available for anonymous ftp from
SGI.COM ([192.48.153.1]). The fixed binary can be found at:
sgi/Mail/Mail
under the ftp directory.
Note that this binary must be installed with the same group (mail) and
permissions (2755) as your existing 3.3 or 3.3.1 /usr/sbin/Mail.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
