Notes

jdstrand

CVE only affects feisty and gutsy tk8.4. These releases have a fix for tcl/tk bug #1458234, which either introduced or unmasked the issue in this CVE (investigate). Bug #1458234 is a memory corruption crasher as well, and though it doesn’t have a CVE, it should be fixed. tk8.3 is affected by #1458234 in all releases, so when fixing it, be sure to fix the CVE as well. tk8.4 in dapper and edgy need both fixes too.
