You do fine work. I'm not sure how often you get to hear that, so I'm going to say it now. I just finished a routine upgrade of my FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE machine to 4.3-RC, in order to make sure that the circulated ftp glob() vulnerability wouldn't affect my system. I'm curious, though, if the lib-paranoia library in the ports collection would have prevented the exploit from happening in the first place. Has anyone experimented with this?
