Last Monday, we noticed a problem with the 9.1.27 Solaris release we
had prepared, and didn't put it out to field.  (We did put out 9.1.27
for Linux at that time.)  We've fixed the problem and will be
releasing 9.1.27 for Solaris on the evening of Monday, May 5.  The
only change in this patch release is:

  * Patches 108993-18 and 111023-02 are installed, in order to fix xdr
    vulnerabilities which can be used to crash rpcgen remotly and
    might also constitute a remote root exploit.

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".

Please send any questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu.
