+----[ Ronald F. Guilmette <rfg@monkeys.com> (22.Jan.2003 14:30): | | I believe that I have found a serious security bug in the CGI::Lite | package that's distributed as par of the FreeBSD ports collection. Is this a FreeBSD specific bug? In principle I wouldn't think so, since we're talking about a perl module ... Also note that security issues due to third party software (any software installed through the ports system) are dealt with differently than issues with the base system (though some ports are actually important, security-wise). Have you tried to contact the author of the module (look in search.cpan.org) to see if s/he is already aware of it? Hope this helps, Fernan | +----] -- F e r n a n A g u e r o http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
