[SRU] Segfault (double free or corruption) in siege

[ville palo]

Original bug report: bug #67553 double free or corruption in siege
Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=385295

Always when you tried to use siege for example:
'siege -u launchpad.net' siege segfaulted immediately. So currently, user
cannot not use siege at all on edgy.

Fix attached, is already included in current feisty package (2.65-4), but
in order to give users a possibility to use siege on edgy, is should also
be included in edgy package (2.65-2).

debdiff attached.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Approved for edgy-proposed. By the way, 2.65-2ubuntu0.1 is over-cautious as a version number; 2.65-2ubuntu1 would be fine, since that version has never otherwise existed and the version in feisty is already newer.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Thanks for the upload.

I did the verification for this and it is fine. I was able to reproduce the crash with the edgy version and it works fine with the edgy-proposed version.

I set this to verification-done now and its fine to upload to edgy-updates.

Cheers,
 Michael
