I suppose I should have looked more carefully at the bugs associatd with CVE-2018-19518 and subscribed to this one. Thank you for pointing it out to me. The suggestion from Magnus is certainly less likely than mine to allow for a future exploit of the same mechanism via different means. Magnus, Would you prefer to handle the jessie update? If not, I will wait until you have patch ready and I can build/upload for jessie and release the corresponding advisory. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
