Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-10-03 08:27:09 UTC 
genkernel still installs busybox-1.20.2. Lots of bugs have been fixed since, including bug #461372.
Comment 1 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-10-26 20:09:52 UTC 
This bug should block bug 515246 and or 515254 because the version bundled with genkernel is affected by CVE-2014-4607.
Comment 2 Austin S. Hemmelgarn 2016-01-18 19:50:56 UTC 
Almost all of the bundled programs that genkernel ships with distfiles for are out of date.  The versions of busybox and LVM aren't even in portage anymore.
