ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for Digital UNIX Version 3.2G.  This kit addresses
the following problems: 

  o  A potential security vulnerability has been discovered,
     where dxsession writes to /tmp directory, which under
     certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised.  
     Digital has corrected potential vulnerability.


  o  Fixed problem of an ungraceful exit can be made through the window
     manager's 'Close' button, whose behavior is inconsistent with that
     of DECwindows Session Manager's (dxsession) 'End Session' button.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

      Install this kit using the PATCH script found in the compressed
      tar file motdu_e01032g.tar.Z .  To unpack the kit, create an
      empty directory and extract the contents of motdu_e01032g.tar.Z
      into that directory.

      NOTE:  If this ECO is received on tape media, it will already
             be in an uncompressed .tar, motdu_e01032g.tar, format.
