Red Hat has been made aware that emails are circulating that pretend to
come from the Red Hat Security Team. These emails tell users to download
and install malicious updates. These trojan updates contain malicious
code designed to compromise the systems they are run on. Official
messages from the Red Hat security team are never sent unsolicited, are
always sent from the address secalert AT redhat.com, and are digitally
signed by GPG. All official updates for Red Hat products are digitally
signed and should not be installed unless they are correctly signed and
the signature is verified. For more details see
www.redhat.com/security/team/key.html.
