Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas
Bugs in the msec package have been corrected: msec wasn't properly parsing the output on security checks to check ownership of files, reporting files as unowned when they were in fact properly owned by a valid user.

Problem Description:
Bugs in the msec package have been corrected:
msec wasn't properly parsing the output on security checks to check
ownership of files, reporting files as unowned when they were in fact
properly owned by a valid user.
The /var/lib/msec/security.conf was no longer being generated which
prevented msec from running.
The updated packages have been patched to correct these problems.
