I still have a server running mysql 4.1.22, and it's marked as having the 
"MyISAM table privileges secuity [sic] bypass vulnerability".  According to 
CVE-2008-2079 (linked from portaudit), this is fixed in 4.1.24.

I was going to file a PR asking for an update to 4.1.24, but then I discovered 
that MySQL 4.1 is in the "extended support" phase where they aren't releasing 
tarballs any more (and of course no binaries).  The source *is* still 
available, but it's in the bazaar repo (see: 
http://blogs.sun.com/datacharmer/entry/hidden_jevewls_in_mysql_bazaar ).  This 
can be checked out and built, but having a build-dep of bzr is probably not 
wanted.

Is it feasible (both license-wise and technically) to have a mirror of  a 
4.1.24 bzr checkout in tarball form somewhere, so the port can be built?


Thanks,

Andrew
