For those who might not know, CERT has just issued an advisory on Perl 4.x
through 5.002. I hesitated to post this to this list, but since Majordomo is
based on Perl, it pretty much effectively touches everyone here. Anyway..

There is a new version out, 5.003, the sources on FSF's ftp site. There will
be no fix for 4.x.

P.S. While this doesn't necessarily direct affect Majordomo, it does affect
the system overall. BTW, I tried that exploition mention in the CERT
advisory, and yes it is quite real.
