My apologies to those who aren't interested in crypto, so I'll keep
it short.  I got this from a local bbs by a user in Missouri.  I'm not
subscribed to the crypto lists, so I don't know if this is widely
known.

[Begin included message]
A major flaw has been found in the latest versions of the text
encryption program PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), Versions 2.6 and
2.7.  This includes the
"Mac" versions, DOS/Windows/Unix and so forth..

This flaw allows text to be inserted behind the "signature" and
can also allow the message to be tampered with without having a
"corrupted message or file" appear to the receiver.

This is NOT being made widely known, so pass this around to
EVERYWHERE on all local boards and BBS's.."
