Bollox Rich. At least now you're not just lying, you're caught at it.

Below you refer directly to a vulnerability in GAIM (
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-032.html ) as a linux
vulnerability. You are thus saying that a hole in GAIM is a hole in Linux.

Read the post below. If you want me to spell it out for you given your poor
grasp of english then I will.
I don't have to put words in your mouth let alone obvious lies like this one.

Your post starts here:



"   You don't have to look so far.  RedHat released a bulletin for a
remote attack and likely exploit today.  See
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-051.html.  The previous remote
vulnerability, not the previous vulnerbility, was just three weeks earlier
(https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-032.html).  There are 11 security
vulnerabilities in redhat linux 9 so far this year and 81 since it was
released just 10-1/2 months ago.  That is about 7-1/2 vulnerabilities per
month.  It's not that linux is not full of problems, it's that virtually no
one cares.

     There are some who would probably kill me for this.. but I'd really be
     interested in seeing what would happen if eeye turned some of that
talent
     loose on Linux.

     Either we'd get a heck of a lot of fixes...or the Linux-heads would
have
     some strong evidence to back up the claim that Linux is more secure
than
     Windows. "
