Hi, I am using the linux-f8 ports on FreeBSD 7.2-stable (mainly to get linux-flashplugin to work). However linux-f8-pango have an open security issue (and have had for some time now). There is no update of linux-f8-pango (not yet anyway) in the ports tree.Can I replace it with something else? (but without changing all ports to linux-f10)
Unfortunately the only thing that can provide what linux-pango does is another version of linux-pango. No -- you'ld have to change the linux-base port and all other linux ports to the f10 version if you wanted to use linux-f10-pango-1.22.3. linux_base-f10-10_2 seems to work OK for me on 7.2-STABLE, at least for providing flashplayer and acrobat8. However, it won't help in your aim of trying to get a vulnerability free linux-pango: % portaudit linux-f10-pango-1.22.3 Affected package: linux-f10-pango-1.22.3 Type of problem: pango -- integer overflow.
