Does this patch fix it?

[Comment 2 Matt Whitlock 2005-12-08 08:00:31 UTC]

Yes, that patch fixes it.

[Comment 3 Marcelo Goes (RETIRED) 2005-12-08 14:43:11 UTC]

I'm flattered, but no need to assign the bug to me ;-)

[Comment 4 Marcelo Goes (RETIRED) 2005-12-08 14:45:17 UTC]

Fix is in cvs, thanks for reporting!

Daniel: I don't know if this is worth pinging security about.

Also, I couldn't really contact upstream. They have no e-mail address, and
people seem rather shy in their irc channel. Don't know how to push this upstream.

Otherwise, this bug can be marked fixed.

Cheers!

I'm fairly sure this isn't a problem unless there is a known vulnerability.
