Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-11-22 21:34:47 UTC
See also bug 530514 regarding the upstream gnulib vulnerability reported against coreutils at $URL. As pointed out in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530514#c4 several packages contains embedded copies of gnulib.

As such we ask maintainers with packages suspected to be vulnerable to verify if the package is (or have been) affected.
