Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-09-06 15:48:22 UTC 
*reserved*

Unfortunately the issue has been made public by the publishing of the patch. Which is now committed upstream and tagged as the fix for CVE-2013-4297, but the CVE hasn't actually been published yet. Since the fix is out there might as well get it in Gentoo and stabilized.
