 A quick look at http://www.debian.org/security/2002/ does not indicate
 sendmail/smrsh or groff/pic.

We fixed the groff/pic hole roughly forever ago - I'm not sure why it
took NetBSD so long to issue an advisory.

Reassurance

2002-10-21 Thread Joel Baker
Anyone who is using my packages does not need to be concerned about the
recent spate of NetBSD security announcements (all of those issued since
version 1.6 was released); none of them have affected code that is in use
by any of the packages I have built.

Most of them are in userland which is already provided by Debian in other
packages, and as such, I do not build them from NetBSD sources.

Just to make folks rest easier, if they were worried...

believe NetBSD's ntalk is different than Debian's netkit-ntalk.)
