The number of systems that are running Fedora Core 4 are very few and far between. I doubt that it will ever be fixed. A better answer is to upgrade your system to use Fedora 10. It works fine on 7.2 systems. If you upgrade, look at the messages on upgrading the Linux emulation in /usr/port/UPDATING 20090401. Note the sysctls and make requirements. After upgrading linux_base to F10, you will need to re-install almost all linux-* ports to the linux-f10-* version. linux-nvu and linux-realplayer are exceptions. That said, linux-f10-pango is also now listed as vulnerable, and I am unsure when it will be updated, though discussion has been on-going for the past three or four days. Hopefully someone with an Fedora 10 system can build a new RPM to fix it. Rumor has it that pango built on a Fedora 11 system will also work, but I have no confirmation of that. -- R.
