hey,
I noticed that the moxa input checking security bug described by
CVE-2005-0504 appears to remain unfixed upstream.
The issue is described here:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0504
Debian has been shipping the following patch from Andres Salomon. I
tried contacting the listed maintainer a few months ago but received
no response.
I've tested that this still applies to and compiles against 2.6.21.
