2007-03-12 20:19:29 Kees Cook gxine: statusexplanation I have a debdiff for Dapper prepared. gxine is in main for Edgy. Thanks for getting the debdiff prepared. After examining the code, I don't think I'm going to issue a security update for this flaw; it doesn't appear to be exploitable. If someone can prove me wrong, please do. From what I can see, a user can just overflow themselves, making this just a regular bug.
