Hi,
The issue with PAM+userhelper doesn't strictly effect the RaQ3, because it
doesn't appear to have userhelp installed by default.
However, PAM is still ownable. Cobalt missed it and didn't issue a patch
by the looks of it (nothing on cobalt.com). Since PAM itself is still
vun, it's probably possible to exploit it (just not through userhelper).
Fix: upgrade it yourself. Probably breaks warranty.
Bye.
