Hello,

Due to the error in our advisory releasing software, the last 6 advisories 
contained wrong package versions. The erroneous advisories which included 
wrong package versions are:

[PLSA-2010-40] Pango: Denial of Service
[PLSA-2010-41] Libpng: Denial of Service
[PLSA-2010-42] tar/cpio: Buffer Overflow
[PLSA-2010-43] Curl: Excessive Data Length in Callback Function
[PLSA-2010-44] Php: Multiple Vulnerabilities
[PLSA-2010-45] Apache: Multiple Vulnerabilities

Our advisories contain package information for each Pardus release. Normally, 
you would see "Affected packages" section as:

  Pardus 2009:
    pango, all before 1.26.2-34-10

However, in the last advisories, the section was written as:

	pango-1.26.2-34-10, all before 2009
	pango-1.21.3-28-8, all before 2008

To get correct package version, the version string after the package name 
should be taken into account. 

Additionally, "solution" section was wrongly created. Please only enter 
package names while using "pisi up". The version string is not accepted for 
pisi.

We are really sorry for this inconvenience and we apologize for it.
