The situation is even worse, after Feb 18 there was plenty of time to |
| 8 |
release GLSA, but yesterday public exploit was posted on BUGTRAQ and now |
| 9 |
systems can be cracked even by script kiddies in minutes. Just imagine |
| 10 |
how bad it can be for web servers hosting phpBB and other web |
| 11 |
applications with awful security history. |

Since writing GLSA takes some precious time, would it be better to mark |
| 14 |
security-related ebuilds as such and just give a link to original advisory? |
