crash is in librrd2, not in perl; reassigning

Hi,

Here is the fix from the Debian bug and the 1.2 upstream branch.

Thanks,

James

This bug was fixed in the package rrdtool - 1.2.27-2ubuntu1

I think this is relevant to Hardy's 1.2.19 vesion too. Attached debdiff for Hardy, please take a look.

Hi,

The patch looks good, can you please follow the SRU process as outlined at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

Thanks!

I'm not really familiar with the bug unfortunately... I tried a simple test with rrdtool and perl, but it didn't crash, but I don't have any munin environment to try with. Maybe the original reported could update the bugreport with a test case.

[Mathias Gug (mathiaz)]

Please update the bug description with a testcase as outlined in the SRU process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

Unsubscribing the sponsor team for now. Resubscribe the team once this bug has been properly formated for a SRU.
