Well, it's considered such by Fedora Security. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security/Classifications "A security issue is a class of bugs which can allow an attacker to deny the user computing resources, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the user's machine. Security issues pose significant risk to users since they can be used by viruses and worms to spread between computers. Security issues can be broken down into two basic types: denial of service (DoS), and arbitrary code execution." So I thought it appropriate to list for consideration in this thread. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
