Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2001:058-04 - Updated mount packages fixing a potential security problem are available. If any swap files were created during installation of Red Hat Linux 7.1 (they were created during updates if the user requested it), they were world-readable, meaning every user could read data in the swap file(s), possibly including passwords. The affected swap files are called /mountpoint/SWAP and /mountpoint/SWAP-(numeral). The new mount command enforces sane permissions on swap space.
