A sharutils security update has been released for Fedora Core 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-280
2005-04-01
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 2
Name : sharutils
Version : 4.2.1
Release : 18.1.FC2
Summary : The GNU shar utilities for packaging and unpackaging shell
archives.
Description :
The sharutils package contains the GNU shar utilities, a set of tools for encoding and decoding packages of files (in binary or text format) in a special plain text format called shell archives (shar). This format can be sent through e-mail (which can be problematic for regular binary files). The shar utility supports a wide range of capabilities
(compressing, uuencoding, splitting long files for multi-part mailings, providing checksums), which make it very flexible at creating shar files. After the files have been sent, the unshar tool scans mail messages looking for shar files. Unshar automatically strips off mail headers and introductory text and then unpacks the shar files.
Install sharutils if you send binary files through e-mail.
