HAVP 0.89 released
- Fix possible retry loop and hang (thanks to Peter Warasin @ endian.it)
- Always send Via: header, fixes some IIS problems (e.g. MSNBC)



I took the liberty of bumping it since there is no significative change.

And it seems it has a security impact. So, reassigning to security.

Hi AMD64 team and X86 team, please could you test & stabilize net-proxy/havp-0.89, thanks.
Comment 3 Markus Meier gentoo-dev 2008-08-15 18:17:40 UTC
amd64/x86 stable, all arches done.
Comment 4 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-17 22:35:27 UTC
Thanks. Time to vote.

I would vote glsa because that kind of DoS is really easy to trigger. But half-yes because of the weak distribution of that software.
Comment 5 Matt Drew (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-08 17:07:41 UTC
I'll vote yes, because it's a security-specific application - the people that ARE using it need to know.

yes too, request filed.
