Hi Janina. Doesn't the xlib library only pertain to X? Because if this is the case, it doesn't pertain to us console users? Or do we still use that library? I don't think that this is the case, but correct me if I am wrong on this.

No, not just X. It has to do with compressing and uncompressing files.
But, you can probably be trusted not to harm your own machine
intentionally! <grin> So, it seems the vulnerability applies to web
pages--and then only under certain circumstances.
I provided the url in my last message. If you have Pine or Mutt going, you
should be able to just press enter while on that line to go read about
this at CERT.
