  1. There was a problem with the packaging of the Darwin-ppc-5.x and
     Darwin-ppc-6.x binaries.  The Darwin-ppc-6.x binaries were corrected
     as of 10 April 2005, and the Darwin-ppc-5.x binaries were corrected
     as of 17 April 2005.

  2. Potential vulnerability in X servers.

     A recently released CERT vulnerability notice (VU#102441)
     describes a potential vulnerability in an X server when the client
     allocates very large pixmaps.  A source patch to correct this is
     available in the fixes directory (fix-01).  This patch is also
     included in the xf-4_5-branch of the XFree86 CVS repository.
