When i saw this on bugtraq i first searched bugzilla.  which had no bug 
filled.  I then checked the repo  to see if packages were updated.  which 
they were not at that time. I then checked the fedora-extras-commits to see 
if  there was something there.  and the updates had been commited.  My 
question is  should I have filed a bug anyway  so that we have a public 
record  that the issue  had been fixed?
