Most of the security advisories since things stopped being back-ported to 2.2.8 have been for ports. If I have the port, I remake a fixed version, use an alternative, or live without. As for things in the base system, the make vulnerability (FreeBSD-SA-00:01) doesn't really scare me on a mailserver. That seems to be the only base system one of any concequence in the advisories that has come up since they stopped getting back-ported to 2.2.8. Should I be concerned about these "many vulnerabilities?" Where are they documented? -- Crist J.
