But I can't find that email either. Found mine, but not yours from today. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/EIFYI5WQ7NTPLXISRE47CNZQJZVI734X/ Anyway, I'm a +1. I am a bit concerned about how GRUB gets stale on BIOS computers with upgrades rather than new installations, since grub2-install isn't called with any of the upgrade methods we've had. http://hmarco.org/bugs/CVE-2015-8370-Grub2-authentication-bypass.html That is fixed today in grub2-2.02-0.25.fc23. On UEFI, grubx64.efi is replaced so it's fixed there just by updating the package. But on BIOS it'll require a manual grub2-install. -- Chris Murphy -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
