Liquidx: Would you remove the 2.2.1-r5 ebuild from x86, ppc, sparc, and alpha trees?
Comment 2 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-10 16:28:51 UTC 
i sure can, but i have a feeling that this bug is present in 2.2.3 as well .. i can't find a proper vunerability explaination anywhere except for that debian advisory

having had a look at 2.2.3, it looks like the problem was fixed in 2.2.3, although not in the same way as the debian patch.

2.2.1 removed from portage.
