Added files:
textproc/htdig/files patch-htsearch_cc
Log:
This patch comes from the ht://Dig maintainers, and fixes a possible
security vulnerability. Quoting from their e-mail announcement:
There is a security vulnerability in all versions of
htsearch between 3.1.0b2 and 3.1.5 . . . The hole can
allow a remote user to pick a file on your system for
the config file that the UID running the webserver
can read.
With a default ports install the httpd user should be nobody, which
makes the vulnerability small.
