It should be just that. An advisory for That Program. It is comming via the FreeBSD security list, thus it Must have something to do with BSD. Besides I don't care if it is a FreeBSD port, I appreciatte hearing about a flaw in X and it is my job to see/know if it applies to me. I am sure that many of us work in multiple OS shops were "port" flaws apply across the board. Besides "Advisory: WUFTPD Buffer overflow Warning" is much shorter in the subject line :) I am amazed at how may Linux people I have met were I talk about how much more secure FreeBSD is and they say " I don't agree, I am always seeing security advisories for FreeBSD" > on top of that, brett does not realize how much effort and work kris and > warner put into making ports advisories already. instead of saying thanks, you ask for more! > I really appreciatte the work they do, and I know others do to. Unfortunatly it is often a thankless job. Who knows how many hacking attempts that were not successfull becouse of their work!
