Hell, 

I've seen that "security hole" in zvg, reported in linux-security
etc. They say:

I've been searching the archives for svgalib-1.2.11, but cannot find
it anywhere (yes they say "will address"). Is there anybody here who
knows where to find this?

I used to think them dec people were competent, but with a security
allert that doesn't even attempt to explain where the hole is, and
no possibility of us really fixing it, I start to wonder.
