I still have a server running mysql 4.1.22, and it's marked as having the = "MyISAM table privileges secuity [sic] bypass vulnerability". According = to CVE-2008-2079 (linked from portaudit), this is fixed in 4.1.24. I was going to file a PR asking for an update to 4.1.24, but then I = discovered that MySQL 4.1 is in the "extended support" phase where they = aren't releasing tarballs any more (and of course no binaries). The = source *is* still available, but it's in the bazaar repo (see: http://blogs= .sun.com/datacharmer/entry/hidden_jevewls_in_mysql_bazaar ). This can be = checked out and built, but having a build-dep of bzr is probably not = wanted. Is it feasible (both license-wise and technically) to have a mirror of a = 4.1.24 bzr checkout in tarball form somewhere, so the port can be built? Thanks, Andrew
