CVE-2008-1845 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-1845):
  The Korn shell (aka mksh) before R33d on MirOS (aka MirBSD) does not flush
  the tty's I/O when invoking mksh in a new terminal, which allows local users
  to gain privileges by opening a virtual terminal and entering command
  sequences, which might later be executed in opportunistic circumstances by a
  different user who launches mksh and specifies that terminal with the -T
  option.

Bumped, as there's no stable keyworded version, no glsa needed, so everything should be done.
