 Quite the coincidence.

There is none actually. We reacted on the bug he reported.

Our solution was just to drop the setgid mail bit, which we have been
shipping /bin/mail with.

 Here's the vuln-dev thread:

 Seems that perhaps SosPiro should have been mentioned.  I realize that
 vuln-dev doesn't exactly give vendors advanced notice due to the
 way it works, but still...

I am sorry we missed giving credit this time.

Ciao, Marcus

I noticed Caldera released a patch for mail today on Bugtraq.
