So I'm looking for firefox's changelog. Not in /usr/share/doc/firefox, so I rpm -ql it. /usr/lib64/firefox is apparently where 90% of firefox's files go, so I look there. An ls --color=auto shows the .so files being the same color as the README.txt - the color of executables. I found the changelog now, via 'man rpm' - but this just struck me as odd. An attachment will show you what I mean. I don't have access to an i386 box right now so I don't know if they're affected.
Created attachment 104322 [details] rpm -q --qf "[%{FILEMODES:perms} %{FILENAMES}\n]" firefox I don't know which of these two issues are (most) important: Many files are +x that should not be. Many files (such as the .txt, .html and likely the .js files) should not even be in /usr/lib*.
