  * SECURITY UPDATE: "arbitrary file access and buffer overflows"
    A new config file, /etc/gypsy.conf, is added that specifies a whitelist
    of globs.  By default, they are "/dev/tty*",  "/dev/pgps", and "bluetooth"
    (which matches Bluetooth addresses).
    Thanks to Michael Leibowitz <michael.leibow...@intel.com>
    CVE-2011-0523
  * SECURITY UPDATE: Prevent buffer overflows in NMEA parsing by using
    snprintf() instead of sprintf.
    Thanks to Bastien Nocera <had...@hadess.net>
    CVE-2011-0524 (LP: #690323)
