e17 currently has no stable release, only testing keywords, version 0.17.6 is in the main tree, older versions have just been removed. e18 is in the enlightenment overlay and there we already have 0.18.3 Anything left to do?

From ${URL} : Red Hat Security suggested I request a CVE here since this potentially effects multiple distros/maintainers. The Enlightenment window manager (enlightenment.org) was found to ship with (a) a setuid root helper that did not effectively sanitize its environment and (b) a weak default configuration. Users in select groups could exploit this to execute arbitrary programs as root. This was fixed upstream in 3 commits each for both e17 and e18 branches, with two new releases shipped shortly after: 0.17.6, Dec 4th 2013: [1], [2], [3] 0.18.0, Dec 21st 2013: [4], [5], [6] Fedora has a bug filed against it at [7] referencing the e18 commits. Thanks, Martin.
