I have seen several notices on other forums regarding the update of
bzip2 to correct a potential security problem. From the bzip2 web site:
<quote>
The current version is 1.0.6, released 20 Sept 2010.
Version 1.0.6 removes a potential security vulnerability,
CVE-2010-0405, so all users are recommended to upgrade immediately.

The version supplied on FreeBSD-8.1/amd64 is version 1.0.5,
10-Dec-2007. Are there any plans to update this supplied version?
