"Digital Defense Inc. released a paper detailing insecurities in
various terminal emulators, including Eterm. Many of the features
supported by these programs can be abused when untrusted data is
displayed on the screen. This abuse can be anything from garbage data
being displayed to the screen or a system compromise.

These issues are corrected in Eterm 0.9.2, which is already included
in Mandrake Linux 9.1."
