According to Guy Helmer: > I just checked the bugtraq archives and found an exploit for sperl4.036 > and sperl 5.00x on FreeBSD was posted April 21! > > I guess no one watches bugtraq?!? Some of us do -- including myself -- but 1. it took some time to make the Perl4 fix because it is not supported anymore, 2. the Perl5 fix was available later too. The Perl5 porters fixed the bug just after the Bugtraq announce but it took some time to get 5.004 out. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #17: Sat May 31 18:55:45 CEST 1997
