Since when do we expect maintainers to spend their time preparing stable release updates for security bugs that are not important enough to have DSAs issued? I find this absurd. If it's worth fixing, it should be fixed through the security process. This particular bug is a buffer overflow in handling of user-provided input to a non-privileged library. Don't expect me to prepare a stable upload for this if it's not important enough to get a DSA. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
