Acc to this, it was patched 2013 & today threatens only long-term systems : http://threatpost.com/ghost-glibc-remote-code-execution-vulnerability-affects-all-linux-systems/110679 I'm running 2.19-r1 , installed 140802 ; vulnerable are < 2.18 . Linux systems are at risk only when admins don't keep versions upto-date. My netbook was running 2.15-r3 (121216) till I updated it this week (I haven't used it since 130127 & ordinarily don't use it for I/net). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
