Description Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-05 13:10:49 UTC
New vulnerabilities were discovered in libtiff (bug #91584). Not sure wether this applies to our pdflib as well.

CC'ing seemant as he seems to be the most active committer (any chance you could commit a metadata.xml file?).
Comment 1 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-11 07:26:46 UTC
Seemant please advise.
Comment 2 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-16 04:58:24 UTC
I asked upstream for confirmation.
Comment 3 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-17 00:30:15 UTC
Upstream will double-check it. If they are vulnerable, they may only fix it in
the 6.x version...
Comment 4 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-06 04:37:59 UTC
Upstream answer: PDFlib 5.0.4 and 6.0.1 are not affected by this problem.
