Description Marek Szuba (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev 2020-09-18 17:25:43 UTC
See here: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/commit/fff97c2dc6703dc1ba8b28b1bf67eeb278ff3e22

In major version 5 this has already been fixed, in 5.0.2. For version 4, it looks like it will be safe to backport the patch.

Will have to fast-stabilise =net-libs/xrootd-4.12.3-r1 once I have pushed it into the tree (would rather not stabilise 5 just yet), it is not entirely backwards-compatible.
Comment 1 Marek Szuba (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev 2020-09-18 17:29:47 UTC
Correction to the stabilisation request: 4.12.4 has already been released so I'll patch that one before pushing it into the tree instead of revbumping 4.12.3.

Following the bumps and the clean-up, 4.12.0 is now the only potentially vulnerable version in the tree. It will be removed once =net-libs/xrootd{,-ceph}-4.12.4 [1] have been stabilised.

[1] In theory net-libs/xrootd-ceph-4.10.0 should work with net-libs/xrootd-4.14.4 as long as they have both been built with the same g++ version, better to update them in sync though.

Excellent. Please use this bug for the stabilisation when you’re ready!

Package list is empty or all packages have requested keywords.

This seems to be of minimal impact, no GLSA.
