Yes, I read yours...It looks like it's a multiple vendor shared library(libDtTerm.so) problem to me. Also Caldera must supply a patch for OpenUNIX 8 xlock vulnerability. I sent a mail to "security-alert" a few days ago about xlock vulnerability but they told me that they put an unofficial patch for Unixware 7, OpenUNIX 8 still VULNERABLE (patch is not applicable on OpenUNIX 8). I think this is a serious bug. For example in earlier 1999 I remember, K2 released an exploit for unixware 7 xlock vulnerability and any standard user that can make a little modification get root access on OpenUNIX 8 TODAY (I got root). Hey man, exploit is around 2 years old and it worked. KF wrote: >This goes along with a mailing from earlier this morning ...
