Is it me or is this issue date incorrect? Looking up all of the bug IDs
associated with this advisory shows that none have been resolved before
4/17/2001, and many are still not even marked as resolved.
This date seems misleading to me, because I've never seen or heard of such
an update by Redhat. It seems to give the wrong impression that this
security update was available from them on 4/10/2001. Though I am not
trying to attack Redhat, can anyone confirm this patch was available at
the date specified?
Viraj.
