[kwlug-disc] NSS Vulnerability

[Keefer Rourke]

Arch also very quickly pushed patches. I got the (partial) fix for bash
yesterday, and I updated NSS about half and hour ago.

I honestly appreciate the fuss though. If the media freaks out, at least
people will know about it and maybe consider updating their systems more
frequently.

Cheers,
Keefer
