Ditto. > It also claims the problem is in the FreeBSD port of <port>, and not in > <port>. Not quite - I was trying to indicate that the message contained *advice* about the FreeBSD port of <port>. The root problem might be in: - the original package - the port itself - FreeBSD core facility as used by the port and the advisory will hopefully contain details of patches or avoidance methods that are applicable specifically to the FreeBSD environment. But I suspect no form of words will satisy everyone. Perhaps after a few more people have put their heads above the parapet and actually made suggestions an election would be in order. -- David Pick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
