Exploitation of a buffer overflow in The XFree86 Project Inc.'s XFree86 
X Window System allows local attackers to gain root privileges. 

  Immunix 7.3 users may use our up2date service to install fixed 
  packages: you may run either "up2date" within X, and follow the 
  directions, or run "up2date -u" to ensure your system is current.

vulnerabilities.

Phong Nguyen identified a severe bug in the way GnuPG creates and uses 
ElGamal keys for signing.  This is a significant security failure 
which can lead to a compromise of almost all ElGamal keys used for 
signing.
