Below is an excerpt from this issue.
The following table provides a summary of software vulnerabilities identified 
between February 27 and March 12, 1999. The table provides the operating 
system, software name, potential vulnerability/impact, identified 
patches/workarounds/alerts, common name of the vulnerability, potential risk, 
and an indication of whether attacks have utilized this vulnerability or an 
exploit script is known to exist. Software versions are identified if known. 
This information is presented only as a summary; complete details are 
available from the source of the patch/workaround/alert, indicated in the 
footnote or linked site.  Please note that even if the method of attack has 
not been utilized or an exploit script is not currently widely available on 
the Internet, a potential vulnerability has been identified.

Thanks to John Fenton at Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab for this
information.
