(Tested against RPM 3.0.3 on SuSE 6.2) For verification: SuSE Linux distributions use rpm in versions 3.0.3 (SuSE-6.3), 3.0.4 (SuSE-6.4,7.0) and 3.0.6 (SuSE-7.1+later) and are not vulnerable to this specific problem. Just a guess, without any claims of accuracy: Most Linux distributors use a version of rpm in the 3-series as well. If you are unsure, use the command "rpm -q rpm" to find out. > -- zen-parse > > (Vendors were originally notified of the problem 12th August 2001) Yes. Thank you!
