2004c is in portage, just needing to be marked stable.

Waiting for x86 testing.
Voting for GLSA: I vote YES, this is nasty.

I vote for a GLSA on this one as well.

ticho: if you tested it please mark stable for x86, we need it to issue the
GLSA

sorry for the delay, x86 is there ...

tester already marked this stable on x86 (with an invalid changelog entry, I
might add). I can confirm that the proble is indeed gone.

Is there any reason not to CC net-mail when a net-mail security bug pops up? I
didn't even know about this vulnerability until now.

------- Comment #11 From Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-02-01 13:31:09 0000 ------- 
ticho: the fixed package was already there so we just asked for stable
markings. We should have cc-d you anyway, you're right.

------- Comment #12 From Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen 2005-02-02 05:11:30 0000 ------- 
GLSA 200502-02

------- Comment #13 From René Nussbaumer 2005-06-26 05:52:48 0000 ------- 
Already stable on hppa
