https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/CVE-2008-1669 shows nothing.

The crazy thing is all the bugs that the CVE tracking bug depends on, 
are embargo'd (most likely for EL-3-5+update releases or something).

Can't see anything in koji etc.  Now I'm not saying that there is no 
reason to worry, but it (cuse the pun) bugs me that that as soon as a 
CVE comes out, it must be patched yesterday.  The embargo on the tracker 
bug wasn't open to Fedora contributors and was only released on the 7th.

It's a pity we live in a society of fear, but I understand.
