hi everyone,
bad news. enabling SUID feature in kismac 0.05d to 0.05d3 will open a
local root hole on your system. this basically means that everyone with
enough knowledge can upgrade his account to a root account on your
system.
there are two things you can do about this.
1. disable the SUID feature (default)
2. install kismac 0.05d4
stable installations are not affected.
