Aha. Hangs and crashes only - and then oss-security?

FWIW, I agree with Michael here.

If you would care about those issues for everyone this simply would mean
that for all reverse-engineered/proprietary formats every bug in this
case would be a security update with all the brimborium and DSA etc. No,
that's not sensible, I think.

Unless someone proves this has real impact _and has patches_
I am not going to care.  This is in a dead-upstream version anyway.

Regards,

Rene
