This is a shut it of and see if people complain kind of thing because it's
unpopular and insecure. I don't blame your auditors getting upset at this.

CVE-1999-0526
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 HIGH
See also: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/704969

I might get upset about rexec too, but the link points to X11 /
XWindows. Rexec isn't X11, is it? Is the CVE some confusion over port
numbers?
