Red Hat 6.0 RHSA-1999:014-01 Critical: Secure Package Updates

red hat
Calendar Grey December 7, 1999
Dist Redhat Esm H88
Bolster system protection through the advancement of secure-shell, terminator, and multiplex packages within Red Hat Linux 6.0 to mitigate potential access risks.

New dev, rxvt, and screen packages are available that fix a security issue with the packages that originally shipped with Red Hat Linux 6.0

Solution

umount /dev/pts mount /dev/pts

If you get the error message "umount: /dev/pts: device is busy" when trying to unmount the filesystem, you will have to close all connections using the filesystem, such as screen, xterm (and other such X terminal programs), and some remote connections.
