Many desktop packages in BLFS-6.3 are old, buggy, and unmaintained (for the versions in the book).
I suppose that there probably aren't many vulnerabilities in the gnome packages themselves, but the browser will be built on top of an ancient version of firefox with more vulnerabilities than you could shake a stick at. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
