- Vulnerability in DECODE alias

-
-
- CIAC has learned of a UNIX vulnerability in the DECODE alias. There
-
- is a strong possibility that this vulnerability is currently being
-
- exploited. One workaround is to disable the DECODE alias by
-
- commenting out the line beginning with DECODE in either /etc/aliases
-
- or /usr/lib/aliases. If you do not wish to disable the DECODE alias,
-
- you can redirect DECODE to postmaster.
-
-
-
- If you have questions, please contact CIAC.
