I was thinking on whether should I update driver to latest beta (mainly for compiz-related stuff) but since no one actually nudged me to do so, and us being pretty close to a freeze, I've decided to hold off. Since we're not building package of nVidia driver anyways, marking it FORBIDDEN for a time being seems right to me. If you manage to actually confirm this vulnerability is true, and it is in fact fixed in latest beta, please ping me again. I'm CCing port@ since I want to stop supporting 4.X in `x11/nvidia-driver' port after 6.2 goes gold. I've explicitly stated this fact in Makefile long time ago. Unless there would be massive objections, it will be going away along with next update (since we have a security issue here, it might happen really soon now considering there's beta available). Same should probably apply to WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT option, but I'm not sure yet, and would also appreciate users' feedback. Thanks. ./danfe
