On the bright side, our old version of glib doesn't include pcre so it doesn't share that vulnerability, unlike current versions (unless people use the system pcre), and as an editor I don't have to put anything in the book about recompiling packages using gecko whenever recompiling your mozilla-of-choice (in case the ABI changed).
Unfortunately, this doesn't mean everything is now tickety-boo. I'm sure thunderbird and seamonkey are likely to have had similar source updates, and this week I see problems in bind, php, and open-office. Much as I dislike the idea of releasing a book with known vulnerabilities, I'm starting to think we don't have the resources to get this one out. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
