The System Security Enhancement directory, (SSE), is here to
provide timely fixes to problems with system security. Binaries
acquired from this directory are to be considered preliminary fixes
only, and have not been fully tested or integrated. As such, these
patches are not officially supported. They are provided as a timely
response to security concerns that have been brought to the
attention of The Santa Cruz Operation.
When final, approved patches are available, usually by a Support Level
Supplement, the README files below will be modified to indicate the
existence of the finalized version of the supplement.
SCO reserves the right to change the contents of these supplements at
any time.
These Supplements should be available in the following locations:
