    Is there a good email address to send information about a bug which
    might represent a security problem for someone using SuSE-9.1?

    It is a slight problem, but would allow a Trojan with write access to
    a certain user owned directory to have a program executed as root.
    Even without that being a problem, an unluckily named program in that
    directory WILL be executed as root which could have surprising
    results for the program which runs it.
