What is the "official line"? Are we getting an update
from Fedora through yum? (Presumably a redhat dude
should be in the know.)

Alexander as you are always asking for CVE numbers
what is the CVE id for this issue? Have you considered
filing a bug report?

Fedora Core - The power of Open Source Now! Please search the archives 
and fedoraforum.org as the question is likely to have been asked before.
