In a previous mail, I mentioned an article on man-insecurities in Linux-
Magazin. I searched www.altavista.com for the name `Pawel Wilk' mentioned
inthe article and found mayn interesting troff discussions in mail
archives.
Moreover, the link
http://mirror.viii-lo.krakow.pl/bugs/security/bugs/mUNIXes/groff.html
describes how to install a trojan horse together with a corrupted man
page. This could be easily prohibited by checksums, but for
non-distribution files the danger remains.
