Revbumped, thanks for the news.
Security: The ChangeLog mentions a security bug fix "Fix a security bug that was reported to us by Joxean Koret (thanks a lot!). A stack corruption could be triggered in the toolbar code by loading a document which contained a style with an insanely long name (afftects only Windows and Unix)".
It is unclear if this affects the 2.2.x branch (current stable). Please advise.
Comment 2 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-02 07:03:44 UTC 
Reassigning to security for a decision
Comment 3 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-02 08:21:47 UTC 
Taviso or someone else, please check wether this affects 2.2.x
Comment 4 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-16 23:55:47 UTC 
Can we close this bug, because 2.4.5 is getting stabled
Comment 5 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-17 00:50:32 UTC 
i have really no detail on this potential issue. BTW, a stack overflow merits a GLSA... anybody knows if 2.2.x was affected or has a link to the patch ?

Additionnally, i suggest to remove from the tree the 2.4.x vulnerable versions (x<5).
Comment 6 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-28 02:48:16 UTC 
heya sec team, holidays have finished, please vote :)
Comment 7 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-29 11:18:10 UTC 
I can't find any details about this issue. So given that impact is unknown I vote NO.
Comment 8 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-05 11:22:34 UTC 
OK, so no glsa on this.

Is 2.2.x affected ? AMD64 is still with 2.2.11 as the latest stable version.
Comment 9 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-07 07:05:56 UTC 
amd64 is done now. Closing with noglsa, feel free to reopen if blabla
