According to Mike Cappella on 8/4/2008 2:33 PM:
| With the recent CVE security announcement regarding setup.exe:
|
| http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-3323
|
| I'm wondering if perhaps it make sense to include the version number of
| setup.exe on the main Cygwin web page? It is currently seems to require
| downloading setup.exe and running it to determine the version number.
On the other hand, the above vulnerability can only occur if you click
beyond the screen displaying the version number, so there isn't really any
harm in running setup.exe to determine whether it is new enough to avoid
that particular bug.
