Good point, but how _does_ one learn which libs have been statically linked when one has only the binary (assuming debug tags were stripped)? If common dependent apps are identified in the bug or fix report, well and good. Otherwise I don't see any alternative to that app's maintainers making the vulnerability information available. If there is a central list or clearing-house of such information, where would it be? - John Mills 1884 Ridgewood Dr, NE Atlanta, GA 30307-1166 404.377.2577 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
