I discovered 2 out of bounds read issues which was reported privately to vapier. He fixed them in this commit: https://github.com/gentoo/pax-utils/commit/95e5489534ac9e9324c5096286899b688e19ae00 My tests was based on 1.2.0 but our current stable is affected. May we stabilize 1.2.2 ? Thanks.
So this has hung out for a while. Let's stabilize.
This component has no 'Package List' field, the bug has no KEYWORDREQ tag. It has quite low visibility for arch teams.
I made a new bug. Feel free to comment there.
Once https://bugs.gentoo.org/646606 is done we need to delete all old versions from the tree.
