Eariler this year, if everyone recalls, vulnerabilities were found in the Xaw libraries that could give root shells with a simple run of xterm. I have recently begun using Xaw3d (1.5, from the ports collection) and there *seems* to be no mention either in the port, the patches, or the source itself of any vulnerabilities or fixes. Yet all Xaw advisories suggest that Xaw3d "may" be vulnerable. Was this conciously upgraded to incorporate any fixes? - Matt "Zigg" Behrens <matt@zigg.com> Network Administrator, zigg.com <http://www.zigg.com/>; Engineer, Nameless IRC Network <http://www.nameless.net/>; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
