1. Topic:

A security bug has been discovered and fixed in the userhelper
program.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 6.0 and 6.1, all architectures.

3. Problem description:

A security bug was found in userhelper; the bug can be exploited to
provide local users with root access.

The bug has been fixed in userhelper-1.17, and pam-0.68-10 has been
modified to help prevent similar attacks on other software in the
future.

4. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
    rpm -Uvh <filename>
where filename is the name of the RPM.
