Just to head off any complaints: Yes, a security advisory just went out, and yes, I do know that Monday morning (for UTC and further east) / Sunday afternoon (west of UTC) is not the most convenient time for you to be patching systems. Unfortunately, this issue was announced publicly at CanSecWest -- unlike most security issues, we didn't get any advance notice of this. When issues have not yet been publicly announced we try to aim to send out advisories on Wednesdays; but in cases like this when an issue is already public we don't want to delay any more than necessary. -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
