I have seen several notices on other forums regarding the update of bzip2 to correct a potential security problem. From the bzip2 web site: <quote> The current version is 1.0.6, released 20 Sept 2010. Version 1.0.6 removes a potential security vulnerability, CVE-2010-0405, so all users are recommended to upgrade immediately. </quote> The version supplied on FreeBSD-8.1/amd64 is version 1.0.5, 10-Dec-2007. Are there any plans to update this supplied version? -- Jerry ✌ FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
