Re: Wheezy update of global?
Hi Ola,
I am currently travelling and there will be a lag of a few days before
I can get to fixing the issue. From a quick look, the security issue
seems to be due to using an unchecked string supplied by the user.
Though it also seems that this usage is under a #ifdef that shouldn't
be active on Linux based systems.
I am happy for you to address the issue if it is urgent. Otherwise
I'll get try and work on towards the end of next week.
Thanks,
Punit
