The Athena 9.0.25 patch release (9.0.26 for Solaris) is currently
scheduled for the evening of Monday March 25. Changes in this patch
release include:
* reactivate will now kill running ssh processes it finds on
workstations set PUBLIC=true.
* ssh has been rebuilt against a newer version of zlib to fix a
denial of service attack.
* On Solaris, the zlib library in the relase is upgraded to 1.1.4 to
fix a denial of service attack for programs which link against it.
Other platforms have native zlib libraries.
* On Linux, a workaround is in place for the 3C509 autonegotiation
problem causing poor network performance for some black Dell
machines.
* On Linux, the Mesa, XFree86-100dpi-fonts, XFree86,

current enough on jumbo patches for Sun's Java and Netscape
packages.
If you have a machine set AUTOUPDATE=false, you can update it manually
after the release goes out by doing a console login as root and
running "update_ws".
