To: security@freebsd.org, core@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 3 Feb 97 8:22:08 CST X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4dev PL65] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text Sender: owner-security@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk With the recent exploits for things such as talkd, sendmail, and the wonderful freakin' locale processing problem I see on bugtraq, would it be wise to consider a 2.1 point release that addressed these issues? If not, maybe a "patchkit" that could be installed (source or binary, whatever) could be done. But I think a "2.1.7" type release would be most ideal... I would be happy to work on some of this, as I have already done the work for some of the problems. Note I am not on security or core so please cc: any interesting responses. ...
