Description David Walser 2017-12-03 18:52:54 CET 
Fedora has issued an advisory today (December 3):
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/AJKJFPCG3MZ3P2ZHGEX43X327IM4YL6K/

It's not clear which older versions may be affected, but the upstream bug has a PoC.  The issue was fixed in 1.1.5.

Ubuntu has yet to make an assessment of this for 1.0.x:

Debian says it is probably affected:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-9847

Looking at the code, I disagree, I think 1.0.x is fine.  I'll reopen if someone ships and update for it.

Version: 6 => Cauldron
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
