Hi All,

As per http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA0NTA

There is a quite a serious security problem.

Is there a patch coming out soon? Does anyone yet know a workaround to this in the meanwhile? Can it be announced?

Have you verified that your system? On my system none of the keys mentioned in that article have the reported results; they all jumps out to virtual terminals. I have not made any changes to the stock Arch config that would affect those keys. /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus
