Re: CVE-2021-3121 stretch patch review request and request for test help



Hi

I do not really think it is worth it. But that is more related to the fact that I have not understood what the security problem is.

Yes, my site is down. It is concluded to be just ash right now. I have a backup so I should be able to upload the patch to somewhere else.

Ola, can you move that patch to somewhere else? Because I guess your
site is still down. :(

I'll be happy to do the work (that is push the fix of
golang-gogoprotobuf and then rebuild all these packages) but honestly,
is it worth doing that? I don't think releasing these many DLAs makes
sense unless there's a fair trade-off, which I don't see yet.

What do y'all think?
