Full Text Bug Listing

Florian Steinel reported this to me as I didn't know about it at all; I'll look
into backporting the fixes to 0.9.5, but I'm not really sure if that's
feasible, considering the sheer quantity.

Security team please advise.

Thanks in Advance,
Diego

I've added pulseaudio-0.9.5-r5 with a patch that should fix all the
vulnerabilities. There should be no problem with that going stable, as 0.9.6
stable right now is not something I'd like to see myself.

Thx Diego!

Arches please test and mark stable. Target keywords are:

pulseaudio-0.9.5-r5.ebuild:KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh
sparc x86 ~x86-fbsd"

Looks like it's not all fixed:

The "p" binary comes from compiling the pulsex.zip source at
http://aluigi.org/poc/pulsex.zip

Oh, and of course:

ticho@hiker ~ $ emerge -pv pulseaudio --nodeps

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild   R   ] media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.5-r5  USE="X alsa hal oss tcpd
-avahi -caps -jack -lirc" 0 kB 

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

Back to ebuild.

Sigh, I missed one revision; I've bumped to -r6 and should be fine now; I
probably forgot to restart pulseaudio when I testcased the patch (and I had
0.9.6 running).

Thx Diego and Ticho for checking.

Please test and mark stable. Target keywords are:

pulseaudio-0.9.5-r6.ebuild:KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh
sparc x86 ~x86-fbsd"

sparc stable.

stable on hppa

Gah, back from work at last. -r6 looks good, marked stable on x86.

amd64 done

ppc64 stable

forgot to take a note about the ppc stablize. Done that now.

alpha/ia64 stable

This one is ready for GLSA vote. I vote NO.

voting NO.
