proposed gentoo-x86/sys-libs/ glibc/files/2.2.5/glibc-2.2.5-maxpacket.diff
Adopted from RedHat; fixes the security issue and the stack size problem the
vendor patch caused.
Martin, any thoughts or comments on this one? I am guessing if its a problem for redhat, it will be a general issue. Problem though is if its same for 2.3.1 ... Daniel, did anybody else have this SA ? Err, is this thing going anywhere ? Dont really run 2.2.5 myself anymore, but if it apply clean, cannot see why not to add it ? I've looked around and I haven't seen any other distributions giving out advisories about this specific matter. Martin, I'll leave it up to you to apply this as you are the one most familiar with the glibc ebuilds. Ditto, not even Mandrake has it, and they usually sync with Redhat once every few weeks. Ill have a look at what other patches Redhat have in there. Might be that they patches for something else, that broke this. Not high priority right now, as 1.4 are keeping me busy. Can this bug be closed now? Alright I'm closing this anyway.. version is just old and it's all good now. |
