Usually I don't do things like this, because there is always more important stuff to do (means for me: netfilter/iptables work). But if it comes to fixes for possible buffer overflows (even if not directly exploitable) to one of the most security relevant packages in any Linux syetem, I just couldn't hold myself. So if you suspect something like this for the debian Linux-PAM package, I might give it a look. But then, I thought debian people should have better behaviour wrt. back-contribution of fixes. > Regards, > Steve Langasek > postmodern programmer -- Live long and prosper - Harald Welte / laforge@gnumonks.org http://www.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ GCS/E/IT d- s-: a-- C+++ UL++++$ P+++ L++++$ E--- W- N++ o?
