Description David Walser 2018-06-17 19:42:51 CEST

Security issues in several database libraries have been announced:
http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2018/06/17/1

The issues in GDBM were all fixed in 1.15.

Unfortunately it changes the library major, so we probably can't safely update stables releases to it.

Mageia 5 is also affected.

It does include a libgdbm_compat.so.4 (the old library major).  I'm not sure if that helps.
