Is anyone aware of this? I received an email from a Computer Science
professor concerning a hack of some sort. Here is the email with the URL
for the hack.

Source code to a nasty hack is out on the web for Tru 54 5.1. This allows
any user to get root. Don't know the fix but thought you should be aware of
this.
Here's the URL: http://deepmagic.securify.org.uk:8080/su.c

Does it exist and if so is there a fix?
