[Comment 1 James Le Cuirot 2016-01-25 20:50:27 UTC]

Reassigning to security team because I don't understand this stuff (I did try) and Java team doesn't write the GLSAs.

[Comment 2 Aaron Bauman (RETIRED) 2016-03-19 08:34:27 UTC]

You are good based on the GLSA and the reported applications installed.  Did GLSA check inform you that you *are* vulnerable or simply letting you know you *may* be?

[Comment 3 Daniel "Fremen" Llewellyn 2016-03-19 16:31:14 UTC]

the GLSA is reported when running `glsa-check -l`. No other GLSAs are listed when running this command and previously when I've fixed GLSAs that were listed by running this command they are removed from the list when re-running. Therefore I believe glsa-check is telling me that I am affected.

[Comment 4 Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) 2016-03-19 21:14:14 UTC]

This is a long standing bug because glsa-check does not support SLOTs properly. We will have to manually add 6.0.42, 6.0.43, ... as unaffected to the GLSA to workaround this. I will do so later unless someone else is faster.

[Comment 5 Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) 2016-03-20 14:17:43 UTC]

Done. GLSA 201206-24 was affected too.
