Bug 572214 – sys-apps/man-db-2.7.5: request for stabilization

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hanno Böck 2016-01-17 16:46:23 UTC]

Can we stabilize a newer version of man-db? The current 2.7.5 has been in the tree for two months and should be good for stabilization.

(2.7.3 fixed a use after free bug I found in the database regeneration process [1] that can get triggered if man pages have invalid includes. This is likely not security relevant, because no potentially attacker controlled input is involved, but it may lead to malfunction and unexplained crashes.)
