Linux maker Red Hat is warning users about an e-mail that pretends to be an official security advisory but is actually a phishing-type scam that contains links to malicious code.

The fake e-mail appears to have been sent from "security@redhat.com" and was first spotted on Friday evening with a subject line: "RedHat: Buffer Overflow in ‘ls’ and ‘mkdir’".
