FW: [security] Trojan attack launched against RedHat Fedora users

[Doc.Brown at rolls-royce.com]

FYI - noticed this in /. and then read more info at RedHat's site:
"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..."
