BFD 1.4: Important Security Fix
May 8th
Today I have put up a new release of BFD, version 1.4, that addresses an unsanitized variable issue that is used on the command line. This is a serious issue and should be treated as such, if you currently have BFD installed I would encourage you to update it immediately, the install.sh script in the BFD package will retain all your options and tracking data so the update process is painless.
Current Release: http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/bfd-current.tar.gz
