On the other hand, at least from my point of view, things are not looking so
bright. I have on my watchlist 4 buffer overflows (CVE-2011-3193,
CVE-2011-3194, CVE-2011-1071, CVE-2011-1097), one DoS (CVE-2011-1659) and a
number of lesser problems (#628843, #615118, CVE-2011-1521), most of which
I have at least pinged once, most are around for at least 3 months, some
for more than 6 months. And my selection is a quite limited one.
