|---|---|
| mdeslaur | as of 2010-01-18, upstream hasn't committed a fix yet debian released patch from bug, but it's not final intrepid+ compiler hardening reduces this to a denial of service. Can't reproduce issue on Hardy. Setting to "low". seems we don't carry the patch that Debian is carrying for this. |
