Hello! libxml2 which is used by various applications outside of Gnome itself is reported to have known security vulnerabilities. I just looked at libxml2 website and I see that FreeBSD ports are several versions (and about half a year) behind the source. (the version 2.7 which presumably fixed the problem was released on Aug. 30, while FreeBSD port is stuck at 2.6.32: Apr 8 2008) I do not mean to blaim anybody (I know that there was a port freeze recently), - I am just trying to alert people in charge for this port, in case it slipped through the cracks. Best regards, Igor Igor Roshchin KomKon Sites
