Description David Walser 2015-08-28 19:33:17 CEST 
Upstream has issued an advisory on August 19:

The issue does affect MaraDNS 1, but it's unsupported upstream, so a fix for that won't be released.

Fedora has issued an advisory for this on August 27:

Note that the Mageia 4 EOL is in about two weeks, so if we're going to fix this, we need to get it built and to QA soon.
Comment 2 David Walser 2015-09-15 00:19:09 CEST 
It's too late to fix this for Mageia 4 now.
