RFFE for ht_0.8.0-2



Dear RMs,

please grant a freeze exception for the ht package replacing the
current ht_0.8.0-1 with 0.8.0-2, of course pending the (so far)
missing powerpc and m68k builds and the usual grace period.

Bug#308587 (grave, security) has been fixed in ht_0.8.0-2, the changelog
reads as follows:

+ht (0.8.0-2) unstable; urgency=high
+
+  * Urgency high due to security fix
+  * Security fix pulled from upstream CVS (Closes: #308587)
+    + fix an integer overflow in the ELF segment parsing
+      (cplus-dem.c, htanaly.cc, htcoff.cc, htelf.cc, htpef.cc, htpeimp.cc)
+    + fix some buffer overflows in the PE parser
+      (htperes.cc)
+    + this is also Gentoo GLSA 200505-08
+    Thanks a lot to Moritz Muehlenhoff for the report!
+  * debian/control: added upstream homepage to long description

No further changes have been applied, the package is lintian / linda /
debdiff clean and seems to compile (pbuilder) and run (chroot) just
fine. omg, I feel like being back at d-mentors again... :)

Additionally I've just contacted the security team wrt the possible
impact on Woody.

Thanks for all your hard work,
cheers,
Flo
